Many events took place in my life from turning forty, to attending a yoga retreat at Omega in New York to having heart surgery at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital.<br \/>\nNow that I have healed and recovered from the surgery it is time to look forward to the New Year with my resolutions in hand.  As a devoted yogini, I have loved sharing my practice through writing about my experiences.  I decided to find another way to share my yoga passion by becoming a chair yoga teacher.  It is my goal to help people with physical limitations such as myself enjoy the many benefits of a yoga practice.  I have enrolled in an online course conducted over Skype to receive my certification as a<br \/>\nLakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga teacher.  The course will teach me how to adapt yoga poses to be done in a chair.  I will also be learning how teach meditation, and breathing techniques and exercises.<br \/>\nIn my view, yoga is a very worthwhile practice for the mind and body, as it can truly enrich your life.  My goal is to share this gift with everyone and help enjoy the benefits that I have received from my own yoga practice.  I wish everyone a very Happy New Year filled with love, peace and happiness. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would define the year 2012 as a whirlwind &#8211; it just went by so fast.
