The journey that led me to yoga was one to find health when I realized I needed to heal myself from aching joints and digestive problems. I strongly believe the mind is a very powerful thing and self-healing is worth the journey. I started learning about nutrition and exercise. After eating better, going to my chiropractor, and getting physically active. I started to feel better. However, something was missing. Alas, Yoga! I began practicing Yoga in 2014 when I stumbled upon it after attending TRX (suspension training) classes that just happened to be in a yoga studio. I began to see positive changes it made in my life. The more I practiced the more I wanted to learn about yoga and a desire to share all the great benefits of yoga with others begin to develop. I decided to take time from my regular sedentary clerical job to complete my 200-hour Yoga teacher training. I received my certification at Asheville Yoga Center in June of 2018.

I want to thank all my teachers, their belief in themselves and in me has taken me on this beautiful path of teaching yoga. I hope to deepen my student’s practice and make them aware that by working diligently they will be more flexible, stronger, empowered and calm. The great thing about yoga is that it’s available to all, and I aim to create a safe space for students to be present with themselves.
