I have been teaching and practicing yoga for over a 13 years now and have logged over 10,000 hours of teaching experience. I am a "power yoga" instructor by nature with a love for the inner strength yoga has guided me toward. As Steve Ross says " Without love, without humor, yoga is just a bunch of hard work" I could not agree more. I am a lighthearted yogi that sees the playfulness in every asana. With a teaching background of Beginner Yoga, Kids Yoga, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hot Yoga, Power Flow, Centergy, Boot Camp, Body Pump, Iron Yoga,Thai Chi, Pilates and personal training I discovered my love for yoga many years ago when I found myself 50 lbs. over weight, my body ached and my mind was in constant chaos. I was never active as a child, never played a sport in my life. Until I found yoga, it opened a whole new world to me. I am just an average mom of two kids.
