Kimberly Nussbaum
Yoga and meditation are a vital part of my life and I welcome the opportunity to share these practices with YOU. People tell me they are not flexible enough for yoga. That is exactly why we NEED yoga. Yoga begins where we are and with gentle micro movements takes us where we long to be, creating FREEDOM in our mind and body.
My journey began in 2009 when I was introduced to hot power vinyasa yoga. It transformed my life. There was the physical cleansing which left me feeling like I had just received a deep tissue massage. And then there was the unexpected mental cleanse. Suddenly all the distractions fell away, and I found myself for the first time enjoying a single point of focus and a deep sense of PEACE.
