Student of the Month for December

We are happy to announce the student of the month for December!

We are thrilled to announce that Linda Egentowich has been selected as the Student of the Month for December!

A little about Linda:

Linda was born in Japan to an Army Dad and Japanese Mother.  She considers NC home as that is where her parents settled.  Linda served 28 years in the Air Force and married John, who also served in the Air Force and currently works in Federal Aviation Administration.  Currently, Linda is the Chief Operating Officer for Air Force Society (the official charity of the US Air Force and a private, non-profit organization supporting the Air Force).

Initially Linda signed up for yoga to get some exercise, lose some weight, get toned and take proactive measures against issues that affect older people such as stiffness, lack of flexibility and balance.  In the process, she got hooked on the “me” time when she was in the studio.  Linda constantly finds herself on the move and she appreciates that yoga makes her stop to take time out for herself and recharge her batteries.

By committing to yoga, Linda has noticed improved strength and flexibility and she continues to focus on improving her balance.  She has also benefited from learning to disconnect from the outside world and connect with her body.  Spending time on her mat allows her to cultivate a place in her head where she can retreat when things in her life get crazy.   By connecting with herself mentally and improving her physical strength, Linda finds that her time on her mat continues to help her daily and just makes her a nicer, better person!

Linda is inspired and motived by the instructors at MYBO. She is part of the 6 am group and appreciates that Todd, Sonia and Neen are there to push her to discover her mind, body and breath connections.

“Just do it! It’s tough/demanding as you want it to be—you’re in control—but just get out there and move. If you’re not  moving, you’re dead! Don’t let intimidation/fear stand in the way of discovering your physical and mental potential/capabilities and your bliss.”
