Move your body,\u0003
\nstraighten out your head.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Do you wish you could get more done, focus on the people you love, feel energized, bring real pep to your work, focus your brain, pull it all off in style and actually feel less freaked out?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what happened to me when I discovered yoga a decade ago.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Vicky Meikle and the first time I found myself in downward dog, it was like landing on another planet. Foreign, yes. Awkward, definitely. \"\"<\/p>\n

But there was something.\u00a0 Sometimes I didn\u2019t know what to do (\u201csurya nama-what?\u201d) but I felt good afterwards.<\/p>\n

So I came back for more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I still couldn\u2019t do all the poses. It didn\u2019t matter. At the end, I was always lighter. More buoyant.<\/p>\n

A new ease was showing up in my life and, believe me, it hadn\u2019t always been there.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s more on that. <\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Fast forward a few years<\/strong> to when I said good-bye to an adrenaline-fueled career in event planning. It wasn\u2019t who I wanted to be or how I wanted to feel anymore.<\/p>\n

I wanted to be present and alive in my life, which is what yoga was teaching me.<\/p>\n

I wanted to share these life-opening practices with others.<\/p>\n

Now, that\u2019s just what I do.<\/strong><\/p>\n
