In search of two more course credits in her senior year of college, Penelope stumbled upon a yoga class in 2004. She was immediately hooked after experiencing the profound stress reducing effects and noticing the contrasting non-competitiveness to her experiences as a collegiate rower. After moving to Durham for graduate school, she immersed herself in the study of yoga as a means of handling her new academic stressors. She began the OM Yoga 200 hour level teacher training soon thereafter.
