Fourth of July brings back memories of becoming a U.S. citizen 20 years ago
I came to this country from India as a 10-year-old, accompanying my parents and my 2-year-old brother, in 1993. I was already a yoga teacher myself, trained especially in kids’ yoga, but I wanted to learn from others. I’m grateful for my ability to meet diverse people in America who deepen my own practice and understanding of yoga every day. This upcoming Independence Day, I thank the immigration officer who inspired me with his message 20 years ago. Chandana Achanta (yogawithchandana@gmail.com; instagram.com/yogawithchandana) is a kids yoga teacher and mental health advocate.
