I found my way to yoga after the sudden death of my 24-year-old son in a car accident. It wasn't long into my training that I realized some of the deeper, truly amazing benefits yoga has to offer. As I meditated and came back to the mat each day, I developed a self-love my soul and body was craving. I have personally experienced how yoga and meditation has the capacity to transform life through mindfulness, compassion, and meditation. I believe that the tools yoga has to offer can lead to a more present and empathetic life. I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training certification and 300-hour yoga teacher certification through the Yoga & Ayurveda Center under the guidance of Steph Mitchell, where I earned my Registered Yoga Teacher Certification (RYT-200) and (RTY-300). I plan on focusing on gentle flow yoga, chair, restorative yoga, and meditation, as well as children’s yoga. I have enrolled in a Grief Yoga Teacher Certification , where I can focus on teaching trauma sensitive and grief yoga.
