With a background in gymnastics I have always been attracted to activities involving stretching, balancing and strengthening which eventually led to my personal practice of yoga. I also have a degree in psychology and a passion for working with and helping people. These combined interests make instructing yoga a great fit for me, enhancing my life physically, mentally and spiritually and continues to do so as I grow in my practice on and off the mat. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to share my enthusiasm with others from all walks of life as we connect through such positive experiences during each class. I received my yoga teacher training through Empath Yoga and have studied under a melting pot of talented yogis. I love yoga because of its endless progression, it's connectedness, it's open-hearted, organic benevolence, and it's nurturing, enlivening, and clarifying nature. I have many influences and enjoy exploring a variety of adapted styles during class. My other interests include Pilates, wellness training, surfing, paddleboarding, and enjoying live music. martial arts).
