Meet Shona Ganguly, by Michelle Chua

Among my sources for inspiration to grow and learn as a yoga teacher is the community I serve.  Unique individuals are drawn to our yoga community for different reasons, whether to condition their body, manage stress or dive deeper into the 8 Limbs of Yoga as a path to Self-realization, or union with Higher Consciousness.  And like my personal yoga journey, their reason to stay and continue to consistently show up as a community may evolve as their own yoga practice matures.  
 
Shona Ganguly has been attending our yoga classes for over 8 years.   Shona is a dancer by hobby, natural environment protector by profession and now an expectant first-time mother. She began her yoga practice to find balance in her busy world.  And while this benefit still brings her to the practice weekly, she explains yoga’s wisdom teachings, echoed in her Hindu upbringing and Indian heritage, that instill a deeper sense of balance throughout the many aspects of her life off the yoga mat.  Enjoy this 25-minute interview with Shona, and perhaps her story or “why” may resonate with you.
