I find yoga to be a blessing for the body, mind and spirit and can't imagine life without it. Like Lois Steinberg, who is one of the world's most experienced Iyengar yoga teachers, I started practicing yoga with a PBS television show: Lilias, Yoga and You.

When Lilias explained how important it was to have an in-person teacher (and oh how right she is!), in my late twenties I headed to the YMCA. I was incredibly fortunate that an Iyengar yoga teacher was the instructor there and have been hooked ever since. (For all you beginners out there: I could barely touch my knees.)
