When you go too fast, you lose some of that. I think it’s important that folks have time to fully arrive on their mats, calm down, and then move in a way that’s wise for them. While my training was in power vinyasa, I prefer to teach a more gentle flow.

I have led several different series as well - with corporate groups, at my church, etc. RC: Where do you teach/how often/what kind of class(es)? How often do you practice yoga outside of teaching?ĪD: Right now I am teaching at a great local studio called Open Door Yoga at least once per week, sometimes more if my schedule allows it. By the fall, I was on the schedule at a local studio. At first, I just started teaching wherever, and whenever, I could - showing up at friends’ houses with an extra mat (and a sequence in mind) or asking a co-worker, Amanda Craddock, in the Raleigh office if I could teach classes after work. RC: And now you're also a yoga instructor - tell us about that.ĪD: I started teaching yoga last spring after I completed my 200-hour teacher training at CorePower Yoga at Cameron Village. Over time, I realized how broad and deep the tradition of yoga is there’s always more to learn, and the asanas (physical poses) are just one component of that. Yoga was a great way for me to recover from long runs.

(This started with learning to turn the TV on when I was three years old so I could do Mousercise, the '80s Disney Channel workout show for kids, before my parents woke up.) When I was in high school and college, I ran a lot. It’s also a gift to be able to share my practice with friends, especially when we’re traveling.ĪD: I have always loved to move, or perhaps it’s more appropriate to say that I’ve always needed to move to be a kind, functioning human. While leggings and a quiet space can make yoga more comfortable, all that’s really required is breath. It’s a daily part of my life, and it’s been empowering to realize that my practice follows me everywhere I go. I have been practicing consistently for the last five years or so. RC: How long have you been practicing yoga?ĪD: I went to my first yoga class when I was in high school, and then I practiced off and on for many years. Occasionally the Raleigh office attends her classes and she's even taught a few classes after work in the office. She has since completed a 200-hour yoga instructor training program through CorePower Yoga at our shopping center, Cameron Village. Annie Dlugokecki, Leasing Agent in Regency's Raleigh office, has been practicing yoga for years.
