I began practicing yoga in 1997 after my first child was born. After suffering with severe postpartum depression, I found yoga to be a source of healing and recovery that no doctor was able to provide me with. I enjoyed it, and knew that I wanted more than the gentle yoga that I was experiencing. My search sent me to an Ashtanga yoga practice, and it was love at first practice! My instructor at the time then invited me to begin training under her, and so my teaching career began!
I taught and practiced Ashtanga exclusively for over 10 years! I then began attending a hot studio/vinyasa flow class and immediately knew that I needed to add some variety into my practice. I found an instructor and studio owner that I highly respected, began working with her and furthered my scope of knowledge. Since then I’ve been teaching both Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow with my Certified Teacher Training Certificate.
I’ve had the pleasure of practicing and training with K. Pattabhi Jois before he passed, David Swenson, Beryl Bender Birch and many other highly respected instructors. I am also a Certified Health Coach and have added that to my scope of services with much success. My hope is to continue to grow my services to be able further accommodate my community in their health and wellness journey.
