I have always embraced movement and exercise in my life. I started dancing at the age of three and continued through high school, where I earned a teaching degree from Dance Masters of America. When I transitioned from the dance world to earn my master’s degrees in Chemistry and Aquatic Resource Management, I felt a sense of not being my authentic self that I could not shake. I turned to Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do for fulfillment. Working my way up to a third-degree black belt, I won grand champion in a multi-state tournament and started my own studio. Years later, when I discovered Yoga, I realized that this is where I was always meant to be. I have finally found home.

I’ve been practicing yoga for over 20 years, earning my 200-hour certification with Lyn Kehoe and my 500-hour certification with Gina Norman. My practice and teaching have evolved over the years to more of a ‘you do you’ type of practice. I encourage my students to practice self-advocacy, embrace their intuition, and let that guide their practice. Choices and options are always given in my class, from supporting the poses by using blocks and blankets to increasing the energy level by adding more core work. I strive to enable and support my students in having a practice that is kind and consistent.
