I have had a passion for fitness my entire life.  Much of my energy as a child was focused on gymnastics, as I became an Elite level gymnast by the age of 12.  Though injuries forced my "retirement" from gymnastics, I have continued to pursue a healthy lifestyle.  I received a B.S. in Zoology/Pre-Med from Oklahoma State University in 1997 and a Master's in Business Administration in 2000.  After the birth of my daughter, I left the corporate world and found my true passion in several group exercise formats, though my favorite was yoga.  After practicing and learning for several years, I decided to pursue a second career as a yoga instructor, attending YogaFit certification workshops in March 2009.  My practice continues to evolve, though I do have a preference for fitness style yoga formats.
