“Learning yoga gave me this energy and compassion for others that could
not be contained. I felt so much hope, and I couldn’t wait to share that feeling with others.”

- Catherine N., 30
Nairobi, Kenya

“Yoga saved me. It taught me that the life I was living wasn’t helping
me or anyone else because it wasn’t focused on love. I also realized
that I could use yoga to make others feel better.”

- Walter M., 27
Nairobi, Kenya

Winning Attitude

"Running has been a way for me to get out and stay active while staying healthy. I also realized very quickly that I was a fast runner for my age group. Since I’m a competitive person, I always try to win my age group, or at least place in the top 3.

Over my short 4 years of running, I have run in close to 30 races. Running gives me a chance to think and enjoy the world around me."

Rehabilitation After the Perfect Storm

“[I] appreciate being able to the exercise in the quiet of the outdoors. We [my husband and I] have lovely trails near our house and we went out daily as soon as it was light, before other tasks claimed our attention and energy.  My theory being that prioritizing [Urban] poling over house and yard work would allow me to regain the energy needed [after illness] to take on those tasks as well. That is exactly what happened….we continue to use our poles to make further gains in our fitness.”

"Moving is fun. I am motivated to do things that I enjoy, and want to be able to be active and healthy for life - I want to be able to say 'yes' to things that come up, and not have my health be a barrier. I want to move and play, and of course, be strong enough for the tasks of life - like carrying groceries and walking on icy, snowy sidewalks, or playing with friends and family."

- Jenn F.

Feeling Emotions

11/11/2016

0 Comments

 
“My dance is neither a philosophy nor a job; it is the way I am feeling emotionally. This is #whyImove. I am not an actress. If I am not going through a certain emotion, I won’t be able to express it through dance. It doesn’t matter if I dance well or not — the most important thing is that I am real. The Bolshoi Ballet Academy is my childhood, my youth and my present, but I don’t have ballet idols. I am really inspired by people who do extreme sports. I think they are brave and emotionally very strong. The stage never gives you a second chance, so I prefer photos and videos. The camera is able to capture real and deep emotions. I can see myself developing in that direction in the future.”

 - Olga K.
Moscow-based dancer
