Anything else you want to add? Under a lot of stress, I was exploring ways to improve happiness, health, and to reach a better lifestyle. In my journey, I found yoga. As I became passionate about the effects of yoga both on the body and soul, I decided to deepen my understanding through studying at UTL. I began to provide my own yoga training as an instructor to help people discover an overall sense of well-being.
