AUGUST YOGI OF THE MONTH: KIM B.
Name: Kimberly
What's your Yoga Story? I had done yoga off and on for many years. I won a free month at Santosha in a raffle at hockey fundraiser. After a week into the free month, I signed up for the full year and have never looked back!
Favorite thing about Santosha? Every single time you walk through the door, you can embrace who you are and where you are in that moment. Every single instructor focuses on this in every single class. It’s what drew me in and kept me here!
Fun Fact: I love Type 2 fun…the fun that is miserable while it’s happening but rewarding, memorable, and fun when you look back on it. Special note: this usually involves my sister and wilderness backpacking!
App you cannot live without? Spotify
Fav Yoga Pose? This is like picking a favorite kid. It depends on the day and honestly, they’re all my favorite!
Who you admire most? My parents. They taught me to always belief in myself and never ever let someone else bring me down including myself!
What song always gets you out on the dance floor? All of them! My Spotify addiction has me dancing all the time!
What is your favorite book/movie of all time and why did it speak to you so much? Do No Harm by Henry Marsh. It’s fascinating chronicle of a surgeon and the humanity, both his own and his patients, he deals with through out his career
What is something you think everyone should try at least once? Sports (and/or movement)—try it all (and maybe multiple times). You never know what you will love until you give it a chance or two!!!
If you could donate $1 million to any charity, what cause would you choose? I’d start my own!!! I’m passionate about girls sports & fitness and body image. We’ve come a long way but so far to go!
What is one thing we would never guess about you? I’m a farm girl…born and raised!
What was the worst haircut/hairstyle you have ever had? All of them—I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s
Who is your celebrity crush? Cole Hauser, Brook Lopez, Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Reynolds, Josh Duhamel….oh wait, you only asked for one?!?!?!?
The zombie apocalypse is coming, who are 3 people you want on your team? My 3 kids! Any day they are under the same roof is basically a zombie apocalypse and they always manage to survive!
What's something you're looking forward to and why? Today! How lucky we are to be alive right now (thanks for that one Joya!!!)
