Jess Grinnan——Yoga has changed my life over and over again

Yoga is so many things to me. It has changed my life over and over again. Coming to my mat each day allows me to connect with my breath and my body and my life. I can reflect on where I am, where I have been and where I am going. Sharing yoga with others and teaching has brought an entirely new aspect of this ancient practice that I’m honored to be a part of. I started my journey with yoga over 20 years ago and it has changed over time but the powerful was in the practice has grown. I’ve learned that it is so much more than asana practice. It is amazing how asana, a tiny part of yoga, can transform lives. When pranayama is practiced, those transformations increase tenfold. When mindfulness is practiced, again the changes yoga brings are tremendous. There is not one person that cannot practice some aspect of yoga and I firmly believe that it benefits all of us regardless of age, gender or nationality. It is the yolk that connects us.
