WHY YOGA?

I firmly believe that yoga is a way of life, and I stand behind its purpose of balancing the mind, body, and spirit through humility, grace, clarity, and kindness. I especially connect with Vinyasa Flow Yoga because of the way it matches breathing with movement and combines creative sequencing with calm, uplifting methods for an inclusive experience for all fitness levels and body types.

WHAT TRAININGS AND EXPERIENCES HAVE MADE YOU THE TEACHER YOU ARE TODAY?

Over the past 15 years, various teachers at USMMA have inspired me to embark on a spiritual and physical awakening.  Also, my mother’s battle with health issues, including cancer and diabetes, has motivated me to help others to improve their health. In 2021, I was certified as an oncology yoga instructor, bringing a strong focus on healing the mind and body through yoga practice. I also became a Reiki Master Energy Healer along the way. 

I became a 200 RYT Certified Vinyasa Yoga Teacher trained at the Soul Culture Yoga School.

WHAT CAN A STUDENT EXPECT IN YOUR CLASS?

I bring my training as an educator, my playful and positive personality, and my love for spirituality to my approach as a Yoga teacher and I strive to make all my students feel empowered by our yoga sessions. My students will experience a gentle but powerful yoga practice geared toward all skill levels. They will get help with stress relief, guided mindfulness, and find their inner peace and power. They will feel part of a tribe.
