My yoga journey began on May 14, 2019.  This date is forever engraved in my mind because it was the day, I took a chance to improve myself both mentally and physically.  My now friend and previous Sumits Yoga Teacher, Christa Holley, had shown me through her teaching how important it was to join an environment at Sumits where everyone can feel powerful in their own skin.  I was in desperate need of a life change, including a way to restart, reboot and redirect my current life path.  The hardest part was admitting that I needed it.  I had gone so long with accepting “life is what it is”.  I was not aware of how much I truly needed this change, until I began my yoga journey with Christa as my first guide.  There were so many people I knew that looked to yoga for inner and outer strength.  Like most people, anxiety is a challenge for me but with yoga, I have been able to find relief.  Not only have I improved my overall mental focus, I have improved my physical strength with the help from my gym trainers.  Sumits allows me to live, love, and learn about myself in a way I did not believe could ever happen.  Sumits helps me to break down all the walls internally while challenging me to start over for the betterment of my future.  Christa truly pushed me to try to step outside of my comfort zone, changing my life forever.  She was so motivational to my yoga journey that after I took her final two classes at Sumits, I immediately signed up for a 3-month unlimited membership.  I love practicing daily at this home and in the studio. Pairing what I learn in the studio, I enhance my life outside of the four walls at Sumits.  I am eternally grateful for Christa and all the Sumits family.  I appreciate each teacher and their guidance they provide to help me improve. This journey has been just the tip of me learning, growing and succeeding.  I cannot wait to see where I can go from here.
