I started on my journey with yoga in 2013 as a young mom interested in the physical practice of yoga only. What I quickly learned (like many before me) is that yoga is truly so much more.  I found myself being more present for the little moments of everyday life and began to find healing and clarity from my past.  As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, yoga reminds me every day that it is okay to make mistakes.  It's just yoga Afterall! This mind and body connection is what keeps me coming back to my mat even during the hardest days.  A husband, 4 kids and many pets later, life is messy, loud, challenging, full of joy.  And yoga helps me breathe through it all!

Being a public-school teacher for many years, helped make the transition to "yoga teacher" feel natural.  I have a passion for teaching and helping others recognize their strengths and abilities.  I hope that my students leave class feeling like yoga is far more than an albeit, great, workout but a way of life that encompasses whole-body health, well-being and mindset.
