On meeting Alec: “Many people think we [Alec and I] met in a yoga class, but we didn’t. I met him because of yoga.”
On her book: “[It] has been a very natural process . . . I’ve been teaching for 12 years now . . . You don’t become a yoga teacher for the teachings, you do it because you love it . . . Teaching is very fulfilling because every day I go home feeling like I helped people. Putting ideas into a book means I can help even more people by getting the book into everyone’s hands.”
On raising her kids bilingual: “Carmen’s first language is Spanish. I only speak Spanish with her . . . and with Alec she is smart enough to know that she needs to switch to English.”
On Alec’s Spanish skills: “Alec’s Spanish is getting better and better. His accent is very good.”
