Yoga began for me in 2002 with Bikram Yoga. Eventually, I branched out and discovered there was much more to yoga than the hot practice Bikram offered.
I discovered all that yoga has to offer in 2006 when I was going through a challenging year as a kindergarten teacher. The mind body connection and meditation got me through even the most exhausting days, both emotionally and physically. It was amazing to me how much yoga affected my attitude towards life and work. Yoga became an integral part of my life and I simply can’t live without a daily practice.
In 2010, I found the Teacher Training program at Franklin Street Yoga Center and decided to expand my practice to teaching. I find that the power yoga at FSYC not only strengthened my body but also my mind. The thing I discovered about yoga in recent years was the totality of it all, it wasn’t just a way to relax or lose weight, it offered a complete change in lifestyle that I was ready to accept. Now I am so thankful to be a teacher so I can spread this practice to others and help both adults and children appreciate all this practice has to offer.
I love hanging out with Brennan (my hubby), music of all kinds, healthy food, traveling, teaching children, my friends, and nature. I am inspired daily by my teachers, students, and the experiences that come with life.
