Getting to know the Zenko Team
Do you have a mantra/quote that you often turn to?
One of my favourite quotes I always come back to is super simple: “Be the change you wish to see in the world”
How do you fill up your love tank?
I fill up my love tank by practicing yoga, surfing, spending time with my husband, my dogs and friends, and soaking in nature.
What advice would you give someone wondering whether to try yoga for the first time?
I think every person should at least give yoga a try! Not just once but a few times, it took years for me to fall in love with the practice. Find a style and teacher that resonates and let the practice speak for itself over time!
