Yvette Sanchez
Yvette took her first yoga class at the Infusion Teacher Training, after her sister told her it was something she "absolutely had to do." She had never received a call from her sister like that… So, she flew back home to LA from Martha's Vineyard and spent the fall and part of winter completely engulfed in yoga heaven! Everyday was reading, eating, learning and practicing her new life. "I loved that my instructors asked me to keep a journal," says Yvette. "I will always be an eager student." She has taught on many beaches, in private homes, a chiropractic office, gyms, an office building and now in a dedicated yoga studio. Her "real" job is with Ballard Organics, the coolest organic soap company on the planet, and in her sparetime, she loves practicing yoga with her children….
