While working at The Turner School in the early 2000’s I realized I had a very bad temper and often felt like exploding at my students, coworkers and employers. In 2010 I began yoga and martial arts classes, which taught me how to redirect my energy and calm situations that could easily lead to physical conflict. A year later I opened the first of three fitness studios, where I and my staff trained over 14,000 people in 4 years. Since then I have tried to impart lessons I learned from that experience to everyone on the Tauris Tech team. Those of us who are not rich, famous or powerful do not have the luxury of assaulting people and not suffering severe consequences.
