Sandy began her yoga practice in 2012 by diving into a 30-day challenge at a local hot yoga studio where she quickly experienced the abundance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits that came along with this sacred practice. The healing benefits yoga offered her through on-going challenges from fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, spinal injuries, depression & anxiety became undeniably clear and her 30-day commitment grew to 60 days before evolving into a lifelong dedication to the path of yoga, Soul-growth, and holistic healing.
Sandy completed her first teacher training in Santa Barbara, receiving her 500-Hour Certificate to teach the 26+2 (Bikram series) from Evolation Yoga. During this life-changing experience, it was revealed to her just how expansive the study of yoga and the Self could be. She continued her yoga studies and completed a 250-Hour Certificate in Vinyasa Flow to expand her ability to serve outside of the 26+2 series, as well as a 250-hour certification in Hatha Yoga.
Sandy is an E-RYT 500 certified instructor, as well as a yoga teacher trainer, licensed bodyworker, integrative nutrition coach, sound healing facilitator, astrologer & spiritual coach... offering her tools & gifts to empower trauma-informed healing and transformational Soul growth.
