“International Yoga Day is impacting my well-being journey by taking me a little out of my comfort zone,” Tammy said. “Yoga is fairly new to me and I’m always up to a new challenge, so I’m really excited to be here to try it out.”
Utilizing the Cast Member wellness opportunities that Disney World has to offer, Tammy began creating healthy lifestyle choices like walking each day and making “better food choices.” Ultimately, she lost 80 pounds in 18 months.
