I started taking yoga as a mother-daughter activity when I was in high school. I wanted to spend more time with my mom, but didn’t know much about yoga. No one around my age was doing it, it was me and a bunch of middle aged women! As someone who was not athletic, I liked that yoga was approachable and felt good in my body. I felt strong and capable. I kept doing it through college because the group classes held me accountable and I could show up and not think about creating my own routine or counting reps! In graduate school, yoga is what I turned to ground myself and stay centered through the stress of graduate school. 

I continue to practice yoga to provide physical and mental strength for me to conquer the rest of my day, week, or challenges in life. Yoga helps me find clarity in my thoughts and guides how I show up as a person, on and off the mat.

I decided to embark on yoga teacher training to gain perspective and understand yoga, physically, mentally, and spiritually, more fully and deeply. I am excited to share my love of yoga with students, whether they are new to the mat or continuing their journey. The energy created and shared in the collective yoga space is so powerful, invigorating, and healing and what drives me to show up on the mat for myself and students!
