Today I'm bringing you an inspiring story from an Alive in the Fire reader, DeAnn, who responded to my recent request for guest posts. I especially love hearing how she balances her Bikram yoga practice with a little core power. Yoga moms, you rock!

My daughter is 11 months old and I have really loved getting back on the mat after having my first child. My passion is Bikram yoga. It started when I was 18 yeas old and I am now 30. My studio is the Bikram Studio City, CA.

Recently though, I have started going to hot power fusion classes at a Core Power Yoga in Sherman Oaks. I enjoy the vinyasa flow element and core strengthening blended in with my favorite hot Bikram poses.

I work full time and share watching our daughter with my husband who also works full time. I coach a soccer team and a basketball team, and also am in school full time completing my California teaching credential. Life is good!
Namaste,
DeAnn Michiels
