Yoga has been a part of my life since I found my way to it when I was a teenager in the late 1960's. It has always been a place within myself where I find peace and a sense of why I am here. In the beginning I taught myself with books, as there were very few yoga schools unless you could travel to a large US city or India. Over the years I have taken classes in every city of the US I visited; classes in Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar. I have taught private lessons for the last 14 years.

In 2014 I traveled to Bali, Indonesia with a friend for a vacation, where we intended to try all the types and places yoga is offered. At our first yoga class at Intuitive Flow, the oldest yoga studio on the island, I knew I didn't need to go anywhere else to find what I was seeking; wonderful yoga with a spiritual depth not found in the western world.

I decided on that vacation that this was the place I wanted to take my teacher training. I have traveled two more times to Bali to receive my 200hr and 300hr schooling. It has been an amazing journey.

I am teaching in a small mountain community where I live, sharing what I have learned since finding yoga more than 40 years ago. I'm looking to expand my teaching to more people through studio classes and private classes in Fresno County and across the state to Monterey County, my second home.

in May, 2018, I completed a 70 hour course with Jill Miller of Yoga Tune Up. I received my certification as a Yoga Tune Up instructor. In August I took Roll Model Method training, to further my training in Yoga Tune Up. I also trained with Jill Miller in September 2018, in Hips Immersion. I have since given one workshop on posture/shoulders using Yoga Tune Up methods, and I am planning a workshop in January 2019, in Yoga Tune Up for hips.
