An instant love affair for me, this thing called Yoga. I knew immediately I wanted to learn how to share that with others once I began my journey. Influenced by teachers, students, peers I bring a unique sense of empowerment to my classes. Whether teaching vinyasa, hot, power, inversions or educating on the use of therapeutic grade essential oils, my wish is that each student finds, through breath, a way to connect to their inner source and leave the session feeling recharged.
My educational background includes a MA from The Ohio State University in Human Resource Management, Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher 200, CPR/First Aid certified having taught close to 4,500+ hours since 2012. I’m also a certified Yoga Gangster Volunteer, helping at-risk youths manage stress through the power of Yoga.
I believe our yoga practice is a true reflection of our lives off the mat and my passion is to help others learn how to embody that flow. My desire for teaching comes from being inspired by how this practice brings people together and creates community.
It's not uncommon for us to give up and ignore the signs. Signs that we are not experiencing balance between mind, body and spirit. Yoga encompasses movement for the body, connectivity for the mind and a feeling for the spirit.
My passion is bringing Yoga to people who wish to find this deeper connection the self. I help my clients, who include children, adults, family or groups to find healthier perceptions of themselves and strengthen their self awareness so they can know themselves as complete and whole. My wish is that each student finds through breath, a way to connect to their inner sources and leave the session/class feeling recharged.
My classes exhibit a continuum of movement and expression, providing tools for a boundless sense of ease, strength and connectivity. My teaching approach encourages students to feel good in their bodies, whatever that means for them on any given day.
I understand there is no single approach is the right one for every individual so I have been trained in a range of Yoga class styles including; Vinyasa, Power, Hot, Beginner, Kids, Chair, Yin, Elderly, one-on-one and Deep Stretch. I'm also a master Reiki level practitioner and an Essential oil educator/distributor; both practices are often infused in my practice and style of teaching.
