Christy Field – RYT 200
What and where to do you teach? Intro to Yoga and Beginner’s Yoga I at BLY in Ajax. Gentle Yoga at BLY in Uxbridge.
What do you like best about teaching? I enjoy connecting with people and seeing the positive effects; physically, mentally and spiritually that they experience from yoga.
What drew you to Yoga? I love the feeling during and after practice that yoga brings to me. That sense of calm and ease but at the same time being energized and connected to the present.
What is your favourite pose? I love hip openers so Pigeon (Kapotasana) and Half Box are my favorite!
What is a challenging pose for you? Hand to Big Toe Pose and Arm Balances, they continue to challenge me so I keep working on them
What did you want to be when you grew up? A writer—I am amazed by the written word and how it can inspire, inform, scare and thrill even comfort a reader.
If you could have dinner with any 4 people alive or dead who would they be and why? My maternal and paternal grandparents, one of them I didn’t get the chance to get to know and the others I miss dearly. Ray LaMontagne, his music touches my soul. Oprah Winfrey, it would be great to hear about all the interesting people she has had the chance to interview over the past 25 years.
What is something about you that may surprise people? I’ve been in a play before.
What is your personal mantra for happiness or success? “Be kind, for everyone we meet is fighting a hard battle.” ~Plato. I believe in passing along what you wish for yourself, everyone deserves a little kindness.
