I am a certified yoga, meditation and mindfulness teacher, and certified ritual guide, based out of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. I teach yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and stress management in the 30A, Destin, and Panama City Beach areas and beyond — including virtual sessions via Facetime, Zoom and Skype. I am passionate about utilizing the eight limbs of Yoga, the tradition of Mindfulness, and the science of stress management to help my clients relieve the effects of modern-day stress and tension, to cultivate self-awareness and self-kindness for emotional and mental freedom, and to improve their overall health through a combination of physical, mental, and spiritual tools.
