1) I am here because: yoga is the best way I've found to destress. And because there's still so much to learn, I've only scratched the surface! So exciting.

2) 6 Things I can't live without: my friends, my cats, those few days of sun we get per year, fresh and tasty Newfoundland air, fruits and vegetables!

3) My top 3 goals in life are: to be happy, to be kind, and to tour with the band many, many times!

4) Ask me about.. Eastern Europe! I've been twice.

5) I'm really good at... Foreign languages! I took French, Spanish, and Russian in university and always found it incredibly easy to pick up a natural sounding accent. I also did a Master's degree in Linguistics, which complimented my efforts at the time.

6) Favourite book, movie, and food is...
Book = The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov
Movie = The Neverending Story
Food = Berries! I will eat all your berries!!!

7) What is your most positive character trait? I've always considered myself to be very good at putting myself in other people's shoes and understanding ways of thinking very different from my own.

 Describe your best experience in a yoga class: I love doing yoga to music. Not just any music, but specifically high energy dance tunes give me extra adrenaline and I find really enhance my concentration. Any class with upbeat is extra special for me!

9) What is your favourite animal and why? Well, I'm a notorious cat lady. Me and my housemates own 3. Cats are my favourite because I'm their favourite! I have a good way with them and they tend to like me and follow me around. Mutual cat love.

10) What is the most important thing you ever learned in a yoga class? To be confident and patient. Without believing in yourself and giving yourself time you can't grow or get better at really anything. Remembering that the floor is not that far away if you fall is a profound idea, in my opinion, and one that you can take literally or more generally. To be patient with myself and to allow myself time to learn gradually is something I've specifically learned from yoga and I'm very grateful for that insight.
