Will get officially certified in August, but am almost done with my 11 month teacher training.

Started practicing yoga in high school, learned some in college, and went off into the 'real world' and have been working in offices ever since. The moment I knew I wanted to become a teacher was during my first few vinyasa courses I took in college. My entire body had a wonderful tingly feeling during and after class. I stepped off the mat and focused more on graduating college and getting a job, and once I was on my feet a bit (and post knee surgery) I knew that I wanted yoga to be part of my life. I found a studio that offered classes with wise teachers that have made yoga their life mission, since before it was cool. After a year or so of being back on the mat I applied for TT and the rest is history. I like mixing my classes between ashtanga/vinyasa flow/kundalini.

In the future I would like to explore natural healing, and chanting/singing/dancing as therapy.
