Pilgrimages of Western Yoginis, Yoga4Everybody Magazine, October 2004

Kirsten, Heather and Dominique are yoga teachers. They are also women with children, husbands, homes, jobs and businesses. Their paths are sometimes littered with loneliness, mishap and illness. They uncovered a force within, beyond postures, beyond travel to self-awareness, spirituality, and life purpose. They remind us all of the possibilities—to pursue our dreams, our desires, our hopes. For women thinking of studying yoga in India, Heather advises, “India isn’t for everybody. If you really want to go, you will find a way to go."
