<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stephanie-Green-13.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1172 size-medium" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stephanie-Green-13-300x300.jpg" alt="Stephanie Green- Om Town Yoga - Yoga Nanaimo - Inspirational person Nanaimo" width="300" height="300" /></a>I want to feature people like Stephanie who have crossed my path and touched my life, inspiring me toward greatness. Too many of us fail to see greatness in ourselves. Somehow, it doesn’t seem to matter what we have achieved; we often need others to point out to us how we excel. People display “greatness” by their attitude, their lifestyle, their choices, their actions… I want to recognize the people in my life who lead by example.</p>

<h3 class="widget-title" style="text-align: center;">How did I meet Stephanie?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I had heard positive comments about Stephanie for a long time before I finally came to one of her classes. <a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stephanie-Green-7.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1167 size-medium" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stephanie-Green-7-300x200.jpg" alt="Stephanie Green- Om Town Yoga - Yoga Nanaimo - Inspirational person Nanaimo" width="300" height="200" /></a>I understood instantly why so many people love her. She offers amazing yoga classes at her studio, she is such an amazing person and great business women. Right away I wanted to be part of the team and teach at Om Town Yoga to get to know her more. I have never heard any negative feedback coming from her or of people talking about her. She has a gift to be able to bring people together, to create a sense of community. She is an amazing athlete and very modest. Did you also know that she lives on Protection island and paddles over in her kayak almost everyday? She is such an amazing role model and I am so honoured to be part of her team at Om Town Yoga. Stephanie is a jack of all trade; Acro-Yoga, Slackline, atheletes, adventure races and she leads Yoga teacher training at Om Town with April every year. I am so happy she took to time to sit down and answer my questions. Enjoy!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What motivates you to exercise?</strong>
<a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stephanie-Green-14.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1173 size-medium" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stephanie-Green-14-225x300.jpg" alt="Stephanie Green- Om Town Yoga - Yoga Nanaimo - Inspirational person Nanaimo" width="225" height="300" /></a>Many things! I absolutely love being outside, so that alone motivates me to get out and be active. I love feeling physically strong and appreciate how exercise also gives me a great brain and mood boost. I know how much healthier, happier (and quite honestly, nicer) I am when I practice yoga and exercise.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>
It depends on the day! The activities that I currently enjoy doing on a daily or weekly schedule are yoga, AcroYoga, trail running, mountain biking kayaking and rock climbing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>
This summer I competed in my first expedition style adventure race where we raced continuously over 3.5 days and over 600km of mountain biking. trekking and paddling while doing all of our own navigating. I was really happy that body and even more that my mind, stood up to the challenge!</p>

The ability to find humour in most things.

<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>
Chocolate. Although I don't even consider that cheating. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants so it is pretty much like eating a salad right?!

<strong>What is your favourite dish/recipe?</strong>
SUSHI! Mmm sushi....

<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>
Oh wow. To continue to play, explore and evolve physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually while surrounded by amazing humans that I adore.<strong><a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stephanie-Green-9.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1169 size-medium" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stephanie-Green-9-300x300.jpg" alt="Stephanie Green- Om Town Yoga - Yoga Nanaimo - Inspirational person Nanaimo" width="300" height="300" /></a></strong>
