I started my yogic journey in 2005 and began practicing yoga to quiet my mind and sharpen my mental focus. At the time I was pursuing my degree in sociology and I soon found that the stresses of being a student began to fade into the background. I now incorporate yoga into my daily life both through asana and philosophy.  Yoga is not only about the postures but how you live your life off of the mat.

In addition to my 200 yoga alliance certification, I have attended a number of workshops to deepen my knowledge of the physical practice as well as my knowledge of the yoga sutras.  I have had the pleasure of attending workshops with instructors including Swami Lalitananda, Yogi Vishvketu, David Swenson, Doug Swenson, Rodney Yee, Baron Baptiste and Robert Birnberg.

I strive to create a comfortable and welcoming environment in my classes. I look forward to continually increasing my knowledge of yoga and sharing it with those around me. Yoga has been such a blessing for me and has positively affected every aspect of my life.
