a glimpse into Jill & Dave’s journey as a yoga couple:
jill’s story
Why do you love yoga?
Yoga is the place where I connect heart, mind, and body. It is transcendent for me.
Why do you prioritize your yoga practice?
Yoga is an important part of my regular self care.
Do you have any favorite poses?
My favorite poses change all the time depending on what my body needs or is struggling with.
How has yoga helped you physically?
I’m 56 and I have been doing yoga for 6 years. I am more flexible and stronger than I was 10 years ago.
Why do you love yoga?
I love yoga because it’s one of the few methods I can use to get out of my head and back into my body.
Yoga is a moving meditation where I get really grounded and connected to my body. The mental stillness of yoga is restorative.
How has your yoga practice changed over time?
I worry much less about how my yoga pose looks and more about how it feels. I try to keep my eyes closed as much as possible during yoga to really focus on the sensations in my body as I move from pose to pose. This probably means that I don’t notice when I’m getting it wrong…which is great…
What’s one thing you’re excited about for 2024?
I’m excited to go with Yoga Underground on a Yoga Retreat to INDIA!!
What’s one thing you’re proud of?
I feel proud of my self every time I show up for yoga. That is the hardest part, the showing up.
