I fell in love with yoga for health and peace of mind in 1997 and after three years of practice became certified through the Bikram Yoga College of India in 2001. I lived in Thailand 2002-2003 and opened a small informal studio in Khon Kaen. My students were stay at home moms in the morning and children after school. The moms loved getting fit while learning English (I would discover) and we would often go to lunch after class and continue to chat the meal away. The childrens ages were as young as 5 and as old as 13 and again the parents would sit on the floor off to the side hoping to learn along with their children. I love languages and pick them up easily but I left Thailand with very little Thai.

Before and after my Thailand adventure I taught for several studio in Portland, Oregon as well as a health club. I have also guest taught in London, Hawaii and Bankok, just to say I did! I am also notorious for waking my friends on trips and inviting them to join me poolside, on the beach or just about any space where a yoga mat will fit. My home studio is a yurt and on Sundays my husband and I host a "community" class followed by a potluck.
