Namaste,   I've been practicing yoga since 1997. Starting in the Iyengar tradition,  I learned foundation and principles of alignment. Then, over the next decade,  i studied Hatha, Ashtanga, power yoga, and hot yoga.  My first teacher training was through Corepower in 2008, and I've been teaching ever since.   I also am certified through Corepower to lead  restorative and hot yoga classes, as well as kids yoga. 

I have worked for several 5 star resorts around the San Diego area.  Currently, I teach at a private golf club community, as well as donate my time for adaptive chair yoga at a non-profit physical therapy clinic. Working with people with disabilities brought things full circle for me,  as i have my masters degree in Rehabilitation counseling, and had the great fortune of working at Qualcomm, in human resouces.  I was in charge of affirmative action and diversity, and developed practices and policies to support the Americans with Disabilities Act. I retired from the corporate world to raise my children, who are now 22, 24, and 26.  My passion is teaching new students, as well as helping everyone to maximize benefits by moving slow and focusing on form and breath.
