For anyone interested in yoga, the first step is finding the right teacher.
My quest began when my shiatsu therapist said I needed to strengthen the muscles in my bad back. After several bad experiences, which had pretty much convinced me to give up the idea of yoga altogether, I was introduced to my current teacher, Hikaru.
I was struck by how calm and poised she was, and after she told me the story of how yoga had changed her life, I knew she was the person to help me.
