She was taught Transcendental Meditation(TM) at age 17 by a trained TM teacher. She believes that yoga is something that everyone should and can practice at any age. Starting the practice of yoga in childhood is a great way to compliment and balance other activities and it is an activity that can be continued throughout your lifetime.

Over the years, Jim has studied other forms including Ashtanga, Bikram, Vinyasa Flow and Anusara.
