In 2009, during the year of great California layoffs in education, I pivoted away from the classroom back to my roots in yoga and holistic health. I opened Full Circle Yoga in 2010 as a response to the need for a holistic yoga and meditation center in the north Orange County, CA area where I live. As the yoga studio industry has boomed - and then busted - I specialized in private lessons and healing sessions, a niche I excel at and serves people who want expertise, comfort, and results without the hype of "big box" studios or gyms.
