Kim loves yoga because it teaches patience and self-acceptance, releases tension, and helps her deal with stressful situations.
“After the birth of my third child, I struggled with depression. Yoga gave me clarity and taught me to be kind to myself,” Kim says. “I love being a wife, a nurse and a mom, but it’s not always easy. Yoga reminds me that it’s okay to have limitations. I bend so I don’t break, and knowing my boundaries is a powerful tool.”
Kim practices yoga and self-reflection every morning, a commitment she credits with keeping her spirit high during the pandemic. “As healthcare workers, we’re so focused on meeting the needs of others that we often lose ourselves. It’s important to care for yourself and do what makes you happy.”
