I am a 19-year-old attending Northern Michigan University to become an elementary teacher. I have battled with juvenile arthritis since the age of 4, but with the help of yoga, mindbodygreen.com, and my gratitude journal, I am finally making my life more environmentally friendly, healthy, and positive, and I encourage others to do the same. In addition, I am currently working to form an after school yoga class for kids in the community.
