How’d you get into teaching yoga? I was working in the corporate world for a long time. I started teaching yoga and I loved it, and so I left.
What do you think the benefits of yoga are? It just helps people to relax and helps people to breathe. You would be surprised how many people can’t breathe properly.
Tell me about your outfit. This is a sari, it’s a very traditional Indian outfit. I got it on a trip to India. I was there for a month, traveling and doing yoga.
What did you like about India? The colors are amazing. Nobody wears black and white there.
