Hi! My name is Cassandra. I am Canadian but living in Australia (Melbourne). I am a primary teacher here with my husband! Growing up I was a gymnast and retiring from the sport at 15 left me with a hole in my life. I struggled with finding a good relationship with my body, mind and soul. Yoga helped me find myself a 'post-gymnast me.' From 16 on I did classes at home, eventually tried out yoga studios and loved the community. I love the feeling of celebrating what my body can do in a way that is so different than gymnastics which was steeped in this notion of 'push push push' instead of 'listen, breath, accept, love, etc.' Meghan's studio is something really special to me, because joining in 2021 and deep diving into her Metamorphosis program was a huge shift in my practise. I had done yoga for about 10 years but classes weren't able to really get me to my edge and challenge me. These past 3 years are when I have been more consistent than ever, practising 3-5 days a week and I have watched my body become strong, like it used to feel growing up. I feel like I've found myself again. This year long journey gets me so excited as well because I am always working to develop my self-care practises (especially as a teacher). Thanks for listening to my story and lovely to 'meet' you all!
