I am a young professional working in the education world currently.  I have been an athlete for most of my life and played softball in college.  I first started with Yoga in college as a way to help prevent injury and increase my flexibility overall. I have been practicing Yoga for the past 7 years and have been teaching for the past 2 months.  Yoga has transformed my life and my body in ways unimaginable, it has turned into a spiritual journey as well as a form of exercise and meditation.  The greatest gift a Yogi can bring to the world and others is the practice of Yoga.  I currently am teaching classes at the school district I work for, offering classes for all staff 2 times a week.  I also started teaching yoga classes during lunch time at the local county building where I live.  The greatest reward has been seeing the progress of my participants, physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Besides Yoga I love road biking, paddle boarding, running, basketball, and anything that involves being outside, especially when the weather permits.
