"As a life coach, I help people get 'unstuck' in life and realize new opportunity for personal growth. As a yoga fan, I love sharing the mind and body benefits of the practice with people I meet. I conceived of the Yoga Stretch campaign as a means to marry these two notions—and build support for CNIB programs at the same time!"
