Channeling Isadora Duncan... And tagged by @andrew Andrew Sealy to share five top non-yoga facts about me. Are you ready for this?! Haha 1.) I sold everything I owned after college and put only the items I needed in two backpacks. I bought a one way ticket to Australia and told my parents I was going to end up dancing in Europe and didnt know when Id be home. They both nearly had heart attacks, since I was the first in my family to live/travel extensively abroad. Theyve since embraced my wanderlust and come visit me! It was a solo backpacking trip for almost a year that changed my life forever. I knew I could tackle anything after that. I trusted and believed in myself for the first time. 2.) I go out at least two nights per week, ideally four, and dance hard for at least 3 hours. I wear flats so I can get low and crazy with my foot work. In the last year Ive been working on my bachata, merengue, cumbia, salsa and tango, but typically just improv. I dance because my soul MUST express fully. I dance for my heart and the chance to touch yours. 3.) I wanted to be the Jane Goodall for elephants. Steve Irwin was my hero. I actually pursued wildlife biology for the first two years of college, before switching to dance performance and choreography. I still want to spend a lot of time hanging with elephants. Not sure why, its just a calling. 4.) Ive always been a passionate environmentalist. I insisted on recycling and used to call shampoo companies to ask why they were testing on animals. I was 7 years old. I remember being terrified to call, but did it anyway. Im so grateful to have been raised in such a liberal conscious community like Santa Cruz,CA. 5.) I love witty #nofilter banter and live to find those that can rally with me. Im a social butterfly and enjoy in-depth conversations and stories. I find people of all walks of life absolutely fascinating and typically end up interviewing them. Im just so curious! With that being said I also have zero tolerance for drama and gossiping. I aim to eliminate as much drama as possible from my interactions. Relationships are so much more authentic and clear without drama. Thats it for me! Now passing to @koyawebb @dashamalove @kinoyoga @yoga_medicine @beachyogagirl What is your top fact?!
