Community Welcome New Members

Hi - This is my first time to join a community forum and this looks like a wonderful site. I’m not certain how to navigate the site yet, but am excited about learning.

I’ve practiced yoga for a little over 30 years. Yoga is a huge part of my life. I got my teacher certification two years ago and love teaching.

I really enjoy the yoga community and have recently been interviewing yoga teachers and putting them on my blog (one-with-life.com). I took a yoga road trip last summer and that was amazing.

I’m excited about sharing this wonderful life of yoga with the community.

I apologize for skipping over your intro thread, I think I was traveling at the time. But welcome, it’s great to have you here at Yoga Forums :slight_smile:

Thanks David. I’m impressed by the conversations taking place here. Where were you traveling?

#4

Florida. I think I may end up moving there I liked it so much.

And I’m glad you’re enjoying the discussions here!

I used to live in Chandler :slight_smile:

Chandler, no way! Small world. I’ve been here in Grayhawk for about 5 years. I really like it. It is quiet and I’m so close to hiking and the mountains I love. I’d really like to split my time between here and the ocean. I’ve lived in a lot of places, and am trying to get back to the beach someday, so I’m working on that. I like Florida.

I’m new to this community/forum idea and still am a little nervous about the idea of posting my own thread. The people are really impressive. I’m really enjoying the depth of the postings.

Do you mind me asking how you came to be the Administrator?

I must admit, I’m not familiar with Grayhawk. Where is that? The last place I lived was off Dobson and Ray. Nice enough, but AZ isn’t for me. It’s too unsustainable and I love to grow various tropical plants :slight_smile:

There’s no reason to be concerned about starting your own thread! If you have something to say or ask, go for it. If people are overly judgmental or unkind to you, then they aren’t that impressive after all eh? But if they are indeed impressive, I’m sure all will go well :wink:

I’ve wondered why I’m admin too. I’m not sure if it’s because I did something REALLY good or REALLY bad last life. One of the two. :wink: In seriousness, I own the site.

Well, I think it’s awesome that you own the site. It’s good to have a purpose so rich and I’m sure very rewarding.

Grayhawk is just North of Scottsdale. I’m at Scottsdale Rd & the 101 just north off of Thompson Peak Pkwy. I spend some time (and hope to move to) Coronado, CA and I just love all the flowers there. When I lived in Texas I had quite the tropical garden, so I get it.

I will go for the thread. Thanks for the encouragement. I’m a writer by profession and used to publish magazines for 13 years, so you would think it would be easy for me. I’ve practiced yoga for over 30 years now and just think it has given me such an amazing life.

How did you decided to create the forum and was it hard to do?

I didn’t create the forum, I purchased it a couple years ago off someone who purchased it years ago from someone who started it for Makunda Stiles. :slight_smile:
