Life is a journey that you plant a seed and sometimes you
never know when and which seed grown into and what will happen to your seed in your
journey. You plant a seed and the seed may not sprout till much much later, but "never say never", this is one of my favorite English sayings.

I always enjoyed yoga when I started it back in
college in the 80’s. There was one point that I thought about wanting to be a
yoga teacher. However in '93, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and my focus changed
to learning macrobiotics, to save my life.

After I healed myself and started
teaching macrobiotic cooking classes and nutrition counseling I was enjoying practicing
yoga. In 2001 when I had the serious car accident it took the mobility
of my physical ability away. When that happened, I never thought I would be able to
practice yoga like I used to. I’m not the type of person who discontinues doing
what I enjoy. As soon as I started using a wheelchair, I began to go restorative yoga
classes and last year I started practicing walking with my six
Healthy Happy Pooches. I still have pain and walking stimulates so it brings me more pain physically, but I feel happy.

Now, I turned to 60 years old and walk to
Santa Monica Yoga Studio which is 6 blocks away from my house and practice yoga three to four times a week.
I can’t believe myself, but this past weekend at Santa Monica Yoga, I took my first
Yoga Teacher Training course with my yoga teachers, Nancy Goodstein and
Jamie Elmer (yoga anatomy).

It was lots of work and I do not know how I could finish, but with the love and support of my husband, Eric Lechasseur to take care of our four-legged family (six dogs and two cats) at home and our restaurant business,
Seed Kitchen in Venice, California.
I thank so much for Santa Monica Yoga people, Bruce, Daniel and Janet
and all the other teachers, especially Allison, Nathalie, Laura, Cindy, and Carole.

I planted a "yoga seed" over 30 years ago and it just started
sprouting as I keep taking care of my seed of happiness to grow, bloom
and harvest.
Love, Sanae
