It was my senior year of high school when I tore my ACL the first time. After five more knee surgeries over the subsequent years, that’s when I found yoga. I don’t have to tell you the awkwardness of a 6’6”, 220 lb basketball player in a yoga studio, so it took me awhile to find my flow. Especially carrying around my mom's flimsy, flower adorned mat that could not be washed! So when my basketball career ended in 2019, after being fortunate enough to endure through the injuries long enough to play professional basketball overseas for 7 years, Yoga Strong was born. I'm not your typical yoga lover, and we’re not your typical yoga mat and we like it that way.
