I love Yin Yoga. I am all in for the slowness, the intentional movement and breath, and the mindful practice. I balance that with cycling (but only stationary bikes), and lifting weights. I spend a lot of time with my three sons and partner watching and playing soccer, reading, and laughing at our magical cat Kit. I am a Midwesterner but from a much harsher climate, northern IL. Catch me reading, many books, all the time, and all at once.
