Mommy Yoga

This really special gal has been on my mind lately.

Her name is Ann, and I hope she doesn't mind that I'm going to brag a bit about her for a minute {or two}.


She wears many hats: she's a private business owner, a professional yoga instructor,

(I use regularly use Ann's "Yoga for Runners" DVD 

to help with my tri training.  Taylor loves to join in. :) )

she's a homeschooling mom (amazing), a wife and expectant mother of six sweet little girls (and for clarification that's not meant to sound like she's carrying multiples!)...


...and she is passionate about providing relief to suffering women in the Congo.  Somehow, amidst all her responsibilities and life struggles, she still chooses to give her all to those women, who as she would say, have lost everything.


So she chooses to give something.  I am in awe at her passion and innovation at how she goes about helping them: 


By hosting "Yoga for Congo Women" events around the country each year, donating all proceeds to women in the Congo.  Denver's Yoga for Congo event is this Saturday morning.

At last year's Yoga for Congo, I was impressed and truly touched by what I experienced there.  Anyone in the Denver area want to see what I mean?  Go check it out {THIS Saturday!}

As I participate in my triathlon that same morning, my mind is going to be on Ann and her cause.
