If you told me a couple years ago when I really and truly dove deep into my yoga practice that I would be writing a blog post about why I practice Baptiste Yoga, I would have told you that you had the wrong gal.

After 3 months nestled between the jungle and the ocean in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, I found a place of rest and peace that I wasn’t able to access at home in the States.

I can vividly remember being just about 5 years old watching my mom do a shoulder stand in our living room.
