I started my yoga journey in 2011 taking a class my university was offering. I had no knowledge of what a yoga mat should be made of or that I shouldn’t have worn corduroys on my first day. Little did I know it would set me on a path of discovery, healing, strength, and awareness.

Sharing the knowledge of yoga practice informally to my 300 piece college marching band in preparation for the strenuous activity of moving and playing instruments simultaneously, the practice extended beyond my college years and became my rock through some challenging times.

In between career shifts, I would swan dive back into the practice with vigor in hopes of becoming ‘aware’ of something I was missing. Turns out, I wasn’t looking inward to the trauma I needed to heal from.

Through breath work, meditation, movement, and a really good therapist, my yoga journey has taken another turn from which brought me to obtain my 200 YTT certification in March 2023, then 300 YTT certification in February 2024. As many are aware, the journey of practicing yoga never ends and you never truly arrive; you continue to learn and expand; which brings me so much joy every step of the way.

My mission has always been to improve the quality of life for others. Be it through my Elementary Education & Early Childhood degree, to creating technology accessible to small businesses, adopting my 3 silly dogs, tending to my ten chickens, promoting sustainable food sources, teaching yoga, sharing my journey, and helping others heal through movement and mindfulness is another way I can continue to provide enhanced quality of life to those around me.

I hope our paths cross soon.
