I had been practicing asanas for about 8 years on my own before I decided to get the 200 hr certification. The certification allowed me to really understand the goals of the different asanas, what muscles need to be engaged and how to properly align the body to receive the maximum benefit without resulting in injury. As an artist, each movement of the body is an expression. When one moves through the asanas correctly with control, one creates moving art. 

I have now been teaching Yoga since 2015, and have completed my 500 hr certification. I enjoy teaching smaller groups as I am able to concentrate more on the needs of my students.
