After retiring from a 17 year career in retail, I was finding myself without a sense of purpose. Until, one day my husband and I were invited to a beginner yoga class. Oh wow! It was love at first vinyasa! With an extensive background in dance, yoga was taking me back to that connection with my body through this rhythmic flow. But, the most impressive thing I noticed was this deeper breath I had found. I began to practice 4 times a week and with practice I wanted to learn more about this beautiful thing called yoga. So, I signed up for private classes with an amazing teacher. She only deepened my love and appreciation for this ancient art.

After only a year and a half of practicing, I entered my 200 hour training program. I still can not believe all of the “ah ha” moments I had over the next 10 months. I did not enter the program with intentions to teach. But, 3 months into it, I knew I had to share my new passion with others.

Yoga is not about how much you can bend or how deep you can fold. It’s about digging deep within yourself to find your true purpose, your freedom within your own body and space, your place of compassion for your Self and others. Yoga has taught me the true meaning of community and interconnectedness with one another. 

Yoga is about meeting yourself on the mat where you are today. Remembering why you are on this Earth and what you are going to leave behind. 

Yoga is not a religion. It is however a pathway to connect with your higher Spiritual being. Wether is thru prayer or meditation you will experience a greater connection to your belief.

I am an upbeat, positive teacher. I feel that I will always provide you with a fun and authentic class. My goal is to give you 80% of what you need and 20% of what you want. Each of my students know that I truly care for them and my only goal is to help them establish and grow their yoga practice. My passion for teaching has ultimately led me to open my own studio so that I may continue to show my gratitude for this beautiful practice. My goal is to leave you centered, re-freshed, and encouraged.
