My yoga journey actually began on a meditation pillow. I had been practicing yoga as a spiritual path for a few years before I stepped on a mat. I, like many others, began the physical path of yoga after receiving a sports injury which caused sitting in meditation to be very painful.
It didn’t take me long to recognize the benefits of merging both practices. I became stronger in my posture which dramatically affected my state of being. I became more free in my body. I learned to control my focus and my breath. I developed a new relationship to movement.

I was inspired by my yoga teacher, Lesley Pelkey, to become an instructor in 2020. I have been a fitness trainer for 13 years so teaching movement came naturally to me.

I love intricate details. I love finding new cues to help my students experience their practice in a new way. I strive to create a space where my students can develop their own relationship with yoga that deepens their inner experience and empowers them in their lives.
