I grew up surrounded by active and inspiring role models. My father, an architect, practiced Kung Fu and aquatic sports throughout his life. My mother, a ballet dancer, still practices Yoga and Tai Chi. Their dedication to movement and healthy living deeply influenced me. Coming from a family known for its longevity, my goal since turning 50 has been to live a long, healthy life with all my facult
ies intact. I believe the key to this is staying active and making time for exercise and stretching. I practice and teach Yoga, and I also enjoy cycling, walking, swimming, skipping rope, and dancing whenever I can. Yoga has made me more aware of how I feel in my body, given me mental clarity, and strengthened my body. I appreciate all the capabilities I still have and am grateful for the opportunity to share this practice with others. In addition to Yoga, I am a ceramic artist. My time is beautifully balanced between my artwork and Yoga, creating the perfect combination of happiness for me.
