There’s something within all of us, that wants to help, inspire and serve other people in some way. I believe in the transformative, healing, rejuvenating, restorative and uplifting qualities of yoga & meditation, and want to encourage others to find strength and peace through their practice. As a teacher, I love acknowledging and seeing the light radiating from within people as they move and breath and connect within themselves.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to encourage at least one or two private lessons before joining one of the group classes if the student has little or no prior yoga experience. I will explain basic breathing techniques and ranges of spinal motion; introduce basic asana (poses) and alignment cues they will encounter in many yoga classes; and discuss the value of a regular practice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
200 Hour Certification from Sierra Center for Yoga Studies
300 Hour Certification from Etowah Valley Yoga
80 Hours of Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Certifications in Galloping Yoga (Equestrian Yoga); Mindful Resilience for Veteran's; KAY (Kidding Around Yoga) for Kids; Thai Assisted Yoga Bodywork; Sacred Sound (Sound Bath Meditations & Therapy)
I offer Introduction to Meditation periodically and focus on traditional Zazen Meditation techniques.

How did you get started teaching?
Yoga, changed my life and yet in my immediate area it was not an affordable option for me to practice regularaly. My teacher recognized this and suggested I take her Yoga Teacher Training classes as a way to deepen my practice... I did this in 2008 and decided that I would make it my goal to offer affordable yoga, so it could be accessible to more people!
What types of students have you worked with?
My students have ranged from age 4 to age 75. My current classes are generally people between 35 and 70 who seek to strengthen their bodies (of all shapes, sizes and abilities) while queiting their minds. Seeking the Divine true self within. We are a welcoming group and consider ourselves a Kula (small community of loving friends) ecouraging each other to always celebrate what our bodies and minds can accomplish on any given journey to our mat.
