Where do you find solace? Kara Miller spotlights
Honolulu. Certified yoga instructor. Marine programs manager. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I feel eternally and holistically tied to the ocean. I grew up up traveling and living around the tropical Pacific Ocean. The ocean is the place I feel solace more than any other; it’s where I go to breathe, to bask, to renew, to connect, to love, and to find peace and joy. It’s where I feel the most alive.

What was A defining moment in Your life? April Martucci New York City. Founder. FireDragonYoga. A defining moment in my life was when I finished creating my yoga teacher training. I’d taken a year to focus on creating a dynamic program which has a comprehensive curriculum and manual plus a talented, seasoned faculty. It felt like all my years doing this healing work gelled into a unique training, which I created, my baby! Since that first teacher training, I continue to train potential yoga teachers, and this brings me fulfillment and joy daily. FireDragonYoga.com
What is really important to you? Jesi Tague Chicago. Registered yoga teacher. Fellowship with like-minded people is important to me because of the strong bonds of friendships that are created. Fellowship is a conscious effort to get to know others and establish strong ties, so that we can encourage others and grow together. Fellowship is just as important to human beings as food, water, and breath. AaltruisticYoga.com
What’s the craziest thing you did for love? Karl Straub Zurich. Yoga teacher. Walking in a forest with Daniela, a simple thought—equally petrifying and exhilarating—possessed me. As our tilting galaxy seemed to float, I breathed deep from my bones, for strength to ask, “Will you marry me?” She laughed heartily, and after some time, in that clear light, we wed.
