Last July, I went on vacation to Palisade with my best friend. While at the Palisade Farmers Market, I had a realization. That realization was that I wanted to settle down there and start my own yoga business. My head was telling me "no", but my heart was telling me "yes". I decided to trust my heart. At that time, I was not a yoga teacher. I had been working in law and government for three years and had been traveling frequently. However, my body was telling me to slow down as I had developed a chronic illness which required constant surgeries. After moving to Palisade, my health deteriorated rapidly and I had to undergo surgery. I was bedridden for three months and decided that it was the perfect time to pursue my dream of becoming a yoga teacher and starting my own business. From my hardships, Blondie Yoga was born.
