Hi everyone! 🫶🏼 My name is Brenda Mejia and I live in Huntington Long Island but I go to the city almost everyday for classes. I’m an international student from Lima Peru and I’m majoring in industrial and organizational psychology.  Since moving to New York City two years ago, I've put exercise on hold. My second year here I did a Yoga Teacher Training at CorePower Yoga to deepen my yoga practice. This year, I'm aiming to finish a half marathon, though I haven't decided which one. I was very active back in Lima, I was part of a triathlon team and did a Half Ironman 70.3 in May 2022. I used to love swimming in the ocean at 5 am and then going for a run. When I moved here I sold all my things, my bike, wetsuit, and all the triathlon gear I had because I knew that I wasn’t going to join a triathlon team in ny. For now, I'm focusing on running, indoor swimming and strength training. I'm excited to meet new people and appreciate you reading this. Thank you!♥️
