The team

I started my fitness journey in 2005 to “get back into shape” after having my second baby. I fell I love with group fitness classes at my gym and made some lifelong friends. I decided to get my general certification in 2007, and I added a spinning certification in 2008 and Les Mills BodyCombat in 2009. In 2020, I decided to add a barre certification and Les Mills BodyFlow to round out my cardiovascular and strength work. I love the energy and support of teaching in a studio. I’ve always found that in the group setting, participants find success in reaching their goals through consistency and mutual support.

I possess an endless fascination with how intricately our minds and bodies influence each other. My classes are specifically formatted to offer multiple modifications for poses and tailored to provide the maximum physical/mental benefit. I have safely and positively impacted thousands of students. My goal is to utilize my knowledge of yoga techniques to improve the strength, flexibility, cardiopulmonary fitness, and share JOY with as many people as possible!

I began taking yoga in 2011 as part of recommended therapy for PTSD. This was a far cry from the high-intensity, aggressive workouts I was accustomed to, but I quickly fell in love with the practice of yoga, not only for its physical benefits, but also for the peace and comfort yoga brought to my life. For me, the practice is a place to connect with myself and find stillness in the chaos. I will always be a student of yoga and I am thankful for the many amazing teachers who have shared with me. In my classes, my goal is to create a safe space where individuals of all levels can meet on the mat to move their bodies with purpose and turn inward to find stillness. Through tuning in to ourselves, we can find peace and equanimity in the world. If you can breathe, you can practice yoga.
