Yovada ambassador Riva G (Gdanski) tells us her yoga story, where is next on her travel list and so much more! (You’ll never guess who she would love to interview…)
I walked into my first yoga class on a whim over 16 years ago. I’d just finished my workout at the gym, and was on my way out when I noticed a yoga class taking place in one of the smaller rooms. The stretching looked interesting, and I figured I’d give it a try even though the class had already started. At the time I’d been working as a software developer for a number of years and had been experiencing symptoms of carpel tunnel syndrome from hours of sitting at the computer. After that first class I left feeling better than I had in a long time – lighter, more open, and the pain and numbness in my wrist was noticeably better. I began to incorporate yoga classes into my routine, but it wasn’t until a few years later that I really began a dedicated Vinyasa practice.
I love listening to music while I practice, but it would be impossible to name just one favorite song – my playlists are constantly changing. Some of the artists I’m listening to now include BORNS, Rihanna, The Weekend, and Marian Hill.
That anything of value takes practice, patience, and dedication.
I’ve had fun trying out some new styles – like aerial or wall yoga – but I have to say that the connections I’ve made, especially through social media, have been really incredible. I’ve made close friends, and have had some really unforgettable adventures with a number of them.
I have a strong case of wanderlust, and find myself constantly planning new adventures. Right now some of the places at the top of my bucket list include Greece, Croatia, and Bali.
Hmmm, I don’t know that I’d want to interview anyone, but I think it would be nice to have a cup of tea and chat with Oprah.

Coffee, my music, and a good pillow.
Chocolate, but if I’m being healthy then mango.
