I came to yoga after 15 years of dance came to an end. Looking for a way to move my body, I fell in love with the physical practice of yoga. Fast-forward a couple years, I was fresh out of University trying to navigate through this crazy thing we call life! I had a build up of emotions that left me feeling inadequate, anxious, and stressed. It was at this time I started to notice the mental shift that occurred every time I hit my mat, and that’s when the floodgates opened! I started to develop this sense of calm and confidence on my mat that eventually manifested into my everyday life. Mentally and physically, that is when my practice started to evolve and grow.

I enrolled in Chrysalis Yoga’s 200HR teacher training program with my heart set on sharing this beautiful practice. After 7 transformative months, I graduated from the program feeling inspired and excited to support students on their own personal journey. 

I love to teach the way I love to move! I aim to introduce a sense of exploration and playfulness to each practice, while focusing on safety and alignment. Whether it is offering new poses, playing with transitions or connecting movement with breath, I encourage students to explore the boundaries of their body and mind.
