"What I love about yoga is that it's over six thousand years old, with so much history, so there's always something to learn". She has been an Adjunct Professor of Yoga at Manhattanville University and done fundraising for Food and Friends and The Animal Welfare League. In her free time she enjoys doing yoga with her son who caught the "yogabug" while he was in her belly, sports, gardening for all the deer that seem to be eating it and taking advantage of the Hudson Valley Region. |
