deidra 's Profile

Tucson, US

I'm a Junior studying Public Health and Near Eastern Studies at the University of Arizona. Yoga has been a very strange and wonderful part of my life. Someone I spent four months with brought me to my first real yoga class. I fell in love instantly and began my practice, after my time with him ended kept the practice. My practice has been with me through both hard and good times. My Practice is a place for me to turn whenever I need it and he gave me that.

More About Me

My Occupation is
I'm currently studying at the University of Arizona and working part time at Walgreens as a beauty adviser.

My hobbies/interests are
I love hiking, biking, and generally being out in the great out doors. I also enjoy being crafty and making anything from crochet to metal sculpture. Working on my bikes is something that relives stress for me and keeps me busy when I feel like I might go mad.

One secret that helps me to stay healthy is
Drink lots of water, and remind yourself daily that your body is amazing so treat it with respect.

My wellness goals are
I would like to achieve wellness within as well as external wellness.

I see myself achieving my wellness goals by
Listening to my body has always served me well, but I also need to learn to listen to my breath.

My inspirations are
The natural world inspires me. It seems as though humans are constantly butting heads with nature and trying to subdue it. As with our bodies if we as a species took time to listen and learn from what has already been working for millions of years then a less painful existence would be possible.
