I was born in Tulsa to an army dad and an immigrant mother from South Korea. They divorced when I was 3 months old, so my sister and I were raised by a hardworking single father (and various stepmothers). We moved around Oklahoma regularly as my dad sought a better life for us. At one point, we were living on 5 acres of land and stabled horses as my dad trained wild horses on the side. I developed a deep appreciation for animals, nature, independence, and imagination. Wh

“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” Bhagavad Gita I stepped on my mat four years ago as a form of therapy, as a means to heal my pain and a way to cope with the shifting landscape of my life. Asana (the yoga postures) became the vehicle to physical transformation, but along the way, I realized yoga was much more than the poses I was practicing. It was a path that would lead me on a journey within. In the first year of my practice and as I becam

I felt lost, hopeless, frustrated, angry, bitter, and exhausted. For years I had put everyone else’s needs before my own. I was taught to do what is expected without being difficult or asking for too much. I was taught that a woman, (especially a Southern woman) has it all together and gets it all done by herself perfectly without complaints. And thanks to the Martha Stewarts of the world, I actually believed this and tried to follow suit. So I became the top student, go

I thought I had my whole life planned out. I always excelled in school and it kept me grounded throughout life. I attended Florida Atlantic University and one of my professors inspired me to consider law school. In my mind, I was already there. I thought I would be happy in a corporate job and I wanted to make my family proud with a higher education. I believe knowledge is power and enjoyed the critical thinking studying law provoked. When a personal tragedy struck, it comple

Getting started can be the hardest part of any new undertaking. We are great at finding excuses not to do something: "I am not sure I will like it, I am not strong enough, it might be too hard," etc… But every important and worthwhile venture has a starting point and sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and go for it. You can always find a reason NOT to try Yoga. Life has a way of offering many distractions in endless succession and one day you wake up and wonder

“Mom, has ovarian cancer. It’s bad”, my sister was crying and was with my mom at the hospital and I needed to break the news to my dad. He was of course devastated. I literally cried all night. Then I went to work to help care for my mom. “Tiffany’s pregnant” my best friend broke this news to me about my 15 year old daughter, because she couldn’t bear to tell me herself. We were 5 hours away from home. The news brought my strong husband to his knees and came three months
