Willa: I was born in NYC, raised in the Berkshires and schooled in Ohio, but I found my yoga soul in Chicago where I lived after college until 2004. We moved to the Boston area about 15 years ago for my husband’s work and to be closer to my then bigger Italian family. I’ve always been a runner and b-grade player of many sports, and generally your never-sit-still-kinda-gal. Move It or lose It. The World Is Your Gym. Just Do It… And then you get older, the body shifts, the mind expands, and the current of life around you unfolds in waves of joys and adversities, births and deaths, blessings and struggles. I am not unique in this Being Human. This practice of yoga asana (poses) combined with practical, non-mystical meditation and approachable philosophies has helped me find peace within my body and my mind, regardless of the shifting world around us. Peace…and Space. The space to heal my chronic back pain from bulging and herniated disks, space within my overused creaking joints, space to sit and find stillness, to breath with more ease, space to observe both the joy and sadness – and to recognize the importance of our reactions to the shifts and changes that life can bring. And from that space in me arose the desire to help others find that space and healing within themselves.My yoga has continued to grow into yoga for the benefit of others in a charitable giving expression as well. Since my babysitting days I’ve always felt awkward when it comes to money issues, but I am encouraged to teach and train more students when I remember that all of our family’s annual charitable giving comes from the money I receive from teaching classes and trainings, at minimum 50% of my salary. Therefore together my students and my family are contributing to the health and well-being of our local schools and universities, multiple medical research programs, historical properties, environmental conservation, programs for women and children at risk, international amnesty relief, and various crowd sourced appeals that just strike my heart.   Yoga has taught me to be awake to, sit with and in turn OWN my struggles of being fully human, in this lifetime, on this earth. Physically and emotionally the yoga teaches me daily how to help myself find my inherent strengths, and weaknesses, and most satisfying – to be an energetic and enthusiastic example and empathetic ally for others along the path to well-being. My life’s work is to teach others to do the same. We all belong in the room. - Willa Worsfold.
