Dear Nest Community - We’re starting something new! Each month (ish) on the Nest Blog we’ll be featuring one of our community members. For our first feature - please meet Marti! Many of you already know her - Marti is a dedicated yogi and we love having her in classes every week. Get to know Marti a little more in the Q&A below.
Tell us a little about yourself, Marti.
I am an 80 year old human who loves humans and furry creatures, despite a few despicable men in current politics. I am happily married to my husband Robert of 40 years, have two grown middle aged daughters, three grandkids ranging from 16 to 29, two cats and a chihuahua I share with my granddaughter who lives with me. I am called unpaid staff at the East Bay SPCA and have been volunteering there for the past 16 years on monday-friday afternoons. When I am not at the shelter or doing yoga, I enjoy long walks, netflix, good friends, reading fiction and good white wine.
