My wife, quick to notice the change, asked me if I would like to join her for a yoga class. I’m learning to be less reactive and more responsive (most of the time!). Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. Private equity firm L Catterton said this week that it has agreed to sell CorePower Yoga to TSG Consumer Partners. Most importantly I have become fearlessly present in my practice, teaching, and life. I thought I was in the best shape of my life upon entering this class. I was part of a community.

I was a rower, a soccer player, a runner. I see elementary students who struggle each day with emotional and physical control. It has given me so much that I have no choice but to share it. They are all sweating together in a little studio in Snyder. I knew I wanted more of this. I couldn’t believe how hard the class was, yet I loved it. Long before I took my first yoga class, I loved the idea of yoga- the integration of body and mind in service of the soul. You may find me using my Ujjayi breath and standing in Tadasana during surgery.

I was in waist deep with diapers and bottles and I knew I needed something, something outside of being a mom. I immediately felt that this was where I belonged. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and my body literally craved it. Private equity firm L Catterton said this week that it has agreed to sell CorePower Yoga to TSG Consumer Partners. Yoga has enhanced my life in so many ways. I wished I could just strap on my shoes and go for a quick jog to “let off some steam.” In the process I had become the least healthy, least emotionally and mentally calm version of myself I could have ever imagined. You should only be asked to sign in once. And meditation, this is where I learn to just BE. I am a runner. My meditation practice brought up many buried emotions and patterns and I couldn’t find a place for them. I practiced being present and being a yes, which eventually began showing up in my life off my mat. Monday night in classes are the best! Not if I sent that work email, not what errands I had to run- I was fully present in both my body and my breath.

I hoped that my second post-partum journey would feel better than my first.

Jul 2010 – Present 9 years 5 months. The activities which put the biggest smile on my face were gone in an instant. I learned to clear my mind by focusing on my body and breath, embracing intention and purpose in the smallest of movements, and the smallest of tasks. It was a Tuesday night, and the studio was buzzing with energy and smiles. I barely made it through. The version that loves who they are, where they are and the body they possess. Whether a student or teacher I can count on the flow to keep me grounded and at ease. I have traveled through 28 countries on four continents and have hiked various mountain ranges including Kilimanjaro, the Andes and Cotopaxi, and the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. Something for everyone. I am a recovering hider.

I entered my first yoga class with the mindset of “this will be easy.” Humbled doesn’t even begin to describe the way I felt as walked out of class that day.

In this practice I have found community, peace and a sense of unity with my body. I will never forget the energy in that room from the teacher and students. I didn’t know anything about yoga so it didn’t occur to me that ‘Power Yoga’ was anything more than some gentle stretching and meditation. While I still find myself as always trying to get it right, I continue to learn so much about myself through this practice. The teachers there are all extremely knowledgeable about yoga! That is when everything changed. One said to me “I think I found your people. I walked into my first Power Yoga Buffalo class in 2012 at the old studio off of Main Street.

Jul 2010 – Present 9 years 5 months. This practice has taught me so much about myself. I took my very first yoga class on April 4, 2015. I didn’t attend these trainings to become a yoga instructor. I left that class with a sense of peace and calm, and a connection that I’ve never had before. A TSG spokesman said that CorePower headquarters will remain in Denver. It was the first hour in a long time that I can remember not worrying about anything. I learned that I do not need discomfort to leave in order to be happy. The first time I settled into savasanna I felt a calm that I had not experienced in years, maybe ever! This app is available only on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. By the end of this class though, I sat in a puddle of my own sweat thinking that was the hardest thing I have ever done. As time went on, I gained strength, balance and flexibility, but more importantly, I gained patience with myself, with others, and found a beautiful community. I think you’d really like it.” I tried it for the workout but I stayed for the subtle ways it changed my life. I love this practice because each time I come to my mat, I have the opportunity to fully express myself and create a practice around what my body & soul need that day.

For me, it feels like art in motion. I attended my first yoga class at PYB in early 2013. Coming to Power Yoga Buffalo has shifted my perception. My love for this practice of yoga led me to the decision to share it with others. Get on your mat, move, sweat… we got you! We are not a spa. It was then that I decided that I was all in. There was nothing to ‘fix’ about myself when I first started (even though I had zero yoga game, by the way) but there was a huge amount of growth possible on and off the mat which has enriched my life so much! When I am not practicing or dreaming of yoga, I enjoy traveling, hiking, running, and working with Africa Yoga Project. Yoga is just that, you will have good days and bad on and off your mat. Sharing this practice with others is the only way I can adequately thank this studio, its teachers, and my fellow students for what they have given me. Our daughter is two and had little experience with being in swimming pools. I just love my yoga community at Power Yoga Buffalo in East Aurora! The practice that started as mostly a physical challenge to myself continues to show me I am capable of way more than I believe. I still practice in the front.). The room was packed, it was hot, and I was completely clueless and overwhelmed.
