About Lili
As a Yoga teacher my goal is to guide my students into self awareness and empowerment through breathe work, meditation, & vinyasa. Connecting Mind and Body to make space for all the challenges and greatness that comes from our journey on and off the mat.
My love for yoga began not too long ago after I gave birth to my incredible twin girls and wanted to get “back to me” and maybe get a good long Savasana in there. As many moms do we give to others first and in my case two plus my step-daughter and supportive loving husband. I have an amazing life! But…who was I? Who did I become? I thought I knew so clearly before…I was the Director of an Ambulance Company, I was the lead singer and bass player to an all girl band, I played all over Boston and NYC and Toronto and wherever else we could play almost every weekend. But who was I NOW? What will my legend be? I felt like I lost my grace and quite honestly myself. I couldn’t tell you what my needs were because I could only think about my babies’ needs and what I could do to bring them joy. I didn’t realize I even had needs until they became more independent. When I decided to go forward with YTT Teacher Training I didn’t do it alone. My sister in law pushed me to go for it and my husband supported all my efforts and did over 1000 Sun Salutations just so I could practice and find my voice. It’s been a long journey and I’m glad I did it. Every day is a new opportunity and each day we can try again. Yoga teachers don’t always wake up with the birds and smiling through suppressed tears. We’re normal and feel lost at times and get depressed and anxious and all those human feelings that plague us all. We know that yoga helps to reel it in, help guide, detox, release and start fresh. Yoga is forgiving, Yoga is love and unity. I am just able to guide others through the rough patches because sometimes we need a hand to pull us through.
Now I know…I am just me. Still happily a mom and a wife. But I know I am me first.
