I am a 40-year-old licensed acupuncturist, wellness clinic owner and yoga teacher in Portland Oregon. 

 In 2009 I traveled to a Sivananda yoga ashram where I stayed for five weeks and trained as a yoga teacher. The program at the Sivananda yoga ashram and retreat in Nassau Bahamas is very intensive and includes; one hour per day meditation, two times a day Satsang, four hours per day yoga class and teaching instruction, one hour per day karma yoga, three hours per day yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, and chanting. Our days started at 5 am and ended at 9 pm with Sundays no classroom time. This was a life-changing experience for me. I love yoga and I love teaching yoga.

My teaching experience has been 1-3 classes per week.  For the last 11 years, I have been teaching at Core Power Yoga.  I have enjoyed this opportunity and the wonderful individuals I am able to work with. I am very interested in the further development of my teaching ability as well as my ability to share yoga with those interested in learning.  In my free time, I enjoy surfing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, gardening, and cooking.  I have two Siberian Huskies who keep me very active.
