I am currently a full time yoga instructor teaching at various locations throughout the city of Chicago. My journey to yoga did not take a linear path. My love for fitness and movement started at a very young age and evolved over the years. I played tennis at a collegiate level, but also explored running, weight training, biking, etc … basically anything to keep my heart pumping and body strong.

After graduating from college I decided to work and travel abroad. I spent three years in various parts of Southeast Asia, I discovered the beautiful practice of yoga. In a small gym studio, with an instructor that barely spoke English, I was introduced to the scared practice of Ashtanga. I was hooked.  That’s where the certifications, workshops and learning began. Upon returning to the United States, I transitioned into a corporate role for some time, but I still continued my study of yoga.  In 2014, I decided to leave the corporate setting to teach yoga full time.  

For me, the yoking of the body, mind and spirit is the most profound element to the practice of yoga. Because of the link that yoga promotes, it has become a source of stability during the constant changes that are a part of life. It’s from this place of stability that I was able to evolve and develop, which is why I am so passionate about sharing this practice with others. I am so excited to be guiding the transformative practice of yoga with new and experienced practitioners alike.   As I continue to grow and expand, I look forward to sharing this practice beyond just the city of chicago and moving to an international platform.
