Student Profile: “People Telling Me to Practice Yoga!”

“I’m a 70 year old woman who has practiced yoga on and off for 20 years. I was in one of those “off” periods and seeing a psychotherapist about a year ago when she suggested I get back into a group practice since I was having issues with aging. The issues were around the physical, emotional and spiritual changes that happen as we age. At almost the same time, I had injured my knee while walking my dogs and started physical therapy. My P.T. also recommended renewing a yoga practice for flexibility and a way to keep active and strong. Two professional people in my life telling me to practice yoga! I didn’t know where to start but my psychotherapist recommended Brant’s classes at Hillsboro yoga. She had heard about his gentle yoga classes. I signed on immediately and I’m very happy to be in the Wednesday morning Gentle Yoga class. Gentle yoga has been a great way for me to get back into a routine of caring for my body and soul.” – Sharon
