WHY YOGA?
When I was 13, I babysat for a yoga instructor who let me join in her practice. Being a gymnast at the time, I found yoga offered me a new physical experience that immediately became part of my routine. As my practice progressed, I found yoga to be a direct connection to a lessened social anxiety. I developed a groundedness that softened my busy mind. I also loved that yoga was inclusive to all spiritual paths.
WHAT TRAININGS AND EXPERIENCES HAVE MADE YOU THE TEACHER YOU ARE TODAY?
With a degree in Physical Therapy and Personal Training, I have always had a passion for the human body and the benefits of movement. As my personal practice evolved, so did my passion for all forms of yoga. I completed my yoga certification in Vinyasa, Hot Power, and Hot Power Fusion as well as Yoga Sculpt while living in Colorado Springs in 2011. I also completed a certification in Hip Hop yoga which solidified the importance of music to me in my classes. I am continually seeking to expand my knowledge through personal study.
WHAT CAN A STUDENT EXPECT IN YOUR CLASS?
You can expect to dig deep and connect to the best within yourself. I will challenge and empower you to reach beyond what you thought was possible and find success in the most simple or most dynamic pose. I fuse humility, humor, and motivation to move you beyond your doubts and leave you wanting more. Jazz hands are not out of the question!
