Help Support Pure Yoga Certification & Retreat

Despite only hearing positive things about yoga and meditation, I never planned on trying. Afterall, it’s always been hard for me to stand still. I’m honestly not sure if I’ve ever felt relaxed enough to meditate. I’ve always felt this need…this need to be busy; this need to move. Even as a teenager, I packed up and set out toward San Francisco on my own. At 18, I survived there for 6 years, working over 40 hours a week as a barista to maintain a roof over my head. I then somehow managed to survive secondary school, graduating with my M.A from Parsons in 2015, after moving back to NY and working a plethora of jobs all at once. And well, I’m still doing just that. Hustling. I currently work for Apple at the Genius Bar (save your questions for later, please) and I am also employed with Equinox as a group fitness instructor in training. Even though these accomplishments were born out of movement, I still feel stuck. But I never feel…still.
