I fell in love with yoga after suffering a knee injury in 2011. I had never been forced to stay off of my feet for so long and yoga was my way back to movement and freedom. After my first Baptiste Power Vinyasa class I was hooked and started practicing daily. In the summer of 2013 I completed my RYT-200 training at Big Fish Power Yoga Studio, a Baptise-inspired studio located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Shortly after my training I moved to Rincon, Puerto Rico where I'm currently living and teaching weekly classes at Centro La Paz Wellness Center. I combine my passion for surfing with my love for yoga, and as a result have found that Power Vinyasa yoga is extremely beneficial to surfers and athletes alike: creating a strong core, a flexible body, and a balanced mind. In March of 2014 I started my own business endeavor with Sunburnt & Salty Yoga Company, where I offer private, on-location yoga classes, SUP Yoga classes, and surfing/paddleboard lessons. I've also recently started teaching a Monthly Free Community Yoga Class here in Rincon in hopes of getting the local community more involved with the practice. My goal as a yoga instructor is to empower others to find their own strength, their own confidence, and their own light. I'm an advocate for living a healthy, positive lifestyle. I am a RYT-200, WPA Level 1 Certified and SUP Yoga Certified through Paddle Into Fitness. I am proud to be an AYCY Ambassador, as well as an ambassador for ALOHA, Glide SUP, and Yoga Trade.
