My teacher/inspiration is Andrea Robertson. She is a yoga instructor part of the year in Ottawa and summers in PEI. The reason she inspires me is because she embodies her practice and beliefs in simple yet profound ways on a daily basis. She has children and introduces them to travel and demonstrates for them what being a complete human is by also maintaining the activities that make her happy. She is an environmentalist and demonstrates this in a number of ways. A few of these are, her preferred mode of transportation (bike), her dislike for waste/plastic, and by introducing people to natural skin care options – just to name a few. Her yoga classes are so intelligently sequenced allowing her students to safely travel into poses deeper than they have before. She works on not only the obvious muscles when creating strength in the body but also the smaller, supporting muscles that are often forgotten about. I feel energized after her classes not depleted and I aspire one day to create that for my students.
