I'm an expat Canadian living near Philadelphia. I came late to fitness, but joined Team in Training in 2007 with my running partner, and we ran the Nike Women's Half Marathon (in San Francisco!!) in 2007. Since then, I've completed 12 different half marathons and a full marathon (in Toronto).

I started practicing yoga on a beachfront porch at dawn in Newport, Rhode Island, about 10 years ago, and I was hooked. A friend hosted classes at her house, and I haven't stopped learning since then. 

For two years I wanted to sign up for teacher training, and the third year I committed. I loved the experience, and I have started teaching friends, and seeking studio positions (I'm about a month out from my training). 

I teach a vinyasa flow kind of class, and I believe that yoga is for every body--meaning every body type, every level of skill, and every personality. I especially love practicing yoga outside--it brings together all the very best elements of a practice. 

Travel is also central to my life. I've been traveling since I was about 4 years old, and started traveling solo when I was 8. Seriously. We've been almost everywhere I've wanted to go in the world, and my two boys have been on the move since they were born, and now love traveling themselves.
