Although Eileen has always enjoyed running, the Colorado winters don't allow it to be a consistent activity. She knows that settling into a yoga practice will increase her lung function and overall wellness. "When I'm knocked down with an infection or having a tune-up (either at home or in the hospital), my energy is zapped and the last thing I can think about doing is running." Eileen is a busy high school teacher, so she has a lot of responsibilities to juggle as well as doing everything in her power to stay well so that she can continue to enjoy all the people and things in her life. Eileen used her grant to take yoga classes.
