I think you need to speak to Anita face to face and say, "Listen, I was so happy when I learned about your new job. I honestly felt hurt – not jealous, but hurt – when you recommended Clara for your old gig, and not me. Can you tell me why you didn't think of me as a candidate for the job?" Go from there.

...?At the time, I was into rock climbing and running, and I had a macho approach to fitness," the 49-year-old says. "My friends took me to a yoga class and I was like yoga schmoga. And then I was hooked, sold.? Her initial introduction to the practice was a power flow class in California with now world-renowned instructor Sarah Powers. Upon returning from the West coast, she shares, ?I was going everywhere to find a similar experience. I ended up at Ahimsa ashram in D C It was Kundalini, a style I had never experienced. It was destiny.? The local instructor remembers no rational reason for staying in the ashram, especially because she would cry in class, and the guy next to her would be smiling. But there was something about this particular lineage that caught her attention and has stuck with her ever since. However, it differs from traditional flow classes. ?In Kundalini,? Hollister says, ?you do not make up your own sequences. It is passed on for hundreds and thousands of years. You have to be true to it. You go in the order it is given.? That is a piece of wisdom she passes along to her students at Asheville Yoga Center, where she teaches on Mondays and Thursdays. At Warren Wilson College, the instructor teaches a two credit beginners yoga class that explores many styles and lineages of yoga, and she also teaches a free Kundalini class for all students on Mondays offered through the wellness program. ?Hopefully something catches,? she says about teaching to the college students. ?They attend my classes for four years, and then some people stay in Asheville and keep coming to my classes. I love that the college offers it for free to the community. It helps them explore their spiritual self and keeps them feeling good.? Hollister, mother of three and wife of the owner of Sundance Power Systems, says that a person can have a home practice even if it is only sun salutations. It takes 40 days to make a shift within, she says, and once you get that, a person can have the power to do anything."
