Safety of flight and benefits of doing yoga.
Women position has considerably improved today comparing to the past several decades. As human beings we all need to live fully, learn and grow. We chose to study in science or engineering not because we are women but because we like it. What matters is to find stability and have work life balanced that can help us grow in both personal life and at work. To support this balance, I continue in learning and teaching yoga while growing as an engineer and leader.
Happiness comes from inner self to outside, Herve Blondon, my Yoga teacher. Choose your path; don’t choose somebody else’s path. It is easier to put effort into something we like than something we don’t, Julie Payette, Astronaut.
