  This past week I read an article on NY City Lens about Lara Land, a yoga teacher who opened a studio in Harlem where there are certainly less yoga studios than the rest of the city.
  
  She shared:
  "You have these little moments all the time," Land says. She leans on one arm, then on the other, causing the bun of curls sitting on top of her head to move along with her. "As a teacher, when you guide a student through something they didn't before, that feels really good. They come to you all the time telling you their lives are better, they sleep better. We had a student that had irregular heartbeat that's doing better now." Her eyes widen. "Little things all the time," she said, looking up towards the ceiling of the studio. "Little sparks that add up to something big."

  Her bio: "Since opening Land, Lara has continued her mission to give to her community. The studio offers classes for all levels, ages, and abilities, and provides many programs for new and expectant moms and children. Lara founded Harlem Earth Day through Harlem's leading business association, Harlem Park to Park. She gives free and donation based yoga all over her community including Morningside Park, Columbia University, The Ralph Lauren Cancer Center, the Food Bank and at The Children's Storefront and many other local schools. She has also continued her work with high risk youth, teaching programs for Girl's Talk, Friends of the Children, and the Incarnation Children's Center in Washington Heights. Recently Lara conducted a Bollywood style fundraiser at Harlem's Red Rooster restaurant which raised $10,000 for Odanadi to rescue children from Human Trafficking." (http://landyoga.com/lara)
