Kimber Jones
A Mini-Interview
What was your initial experience with yoga?
I initially came to yoga in high school. After growing up as a dancer, I thought I would be “good” at it because I was so flexible. Ironically, I’ve found yoga to be a healing place for my type A/ achievement oriented personality and now yoga’s benefits go far beyond the physical for me. Let’s mine the depths!
What do you find most rewarding about teaching yoga?
As with anything that has been profoundly influential, you want to share with others. My experiences with yoga and Ayurveda are no different. So I just want to stand on the rooftops and shout about how amazing these practices are! I’m a teacher at heart, so getting to teach something that has become a guiding compass for me is more than just rewarding, it’s my dharma.
