The Yoga Ground

When I (Kristen) originally started practicing yoga it was helping me heal from an eating disorder. I found a studio that became a home for me. I was 21 and fresh out of eating disorder rehab. I was a full-time college student and not yet a yoga teacher. I paid $50 for an Intro Month Special and after that was over, I knew I could no longer afford to take classes. When I explained my situation to the owners of that studio they agreed to take me on as part of their work exchange program. I worked several shifts per week in exchange for free yoga. Having that kind access to yoga changed my life and allowed me to meet a community of people who I imagine will be the very people to breathe life into The Yoga Ground today, 11 years later.
