Yoga has delivered me a sense of peace that I cannot fully put into words, and my goal as an instructor is to share that same serenity with you. I will help you learn to accept where you are today and appreciate how far you’ve come on your personal journey.
The Yoga Journey takes many twists and turns, and no two students follow the same path. In my case, yoga was the natural evolution of a passion for running that first developed when I was a freshman in college. I began practicing yoga in my basement as a simple way to release the tension in my body after a long run.
Years went by, and though I practiced many poses in private, I never signed up for a formal class. That all changed in the winter of 2013 when I decided to attend my first yoga class as a way to connect with others and find a sense of balance in my hectic life.
My mind raced with nervous energy as I walked into the studio for the first time. Would I know all of the poses, and even if I did, would my body allow me to perform them? My fears were quelled immediately when class began and I found myself welcomed into the inclusive community of yoga.
As an instructor, I seek to replicate that environment where nerves and anxiety can be replaced by a calm feeling of belonging. I believe that yoga is not about nailing the pose, but instead offers time to reflect, be thankful, meditate, and grow with your body. Our frantic lifestyles, the endless sense of competition, and any lingering self-doubt can all be left behind when you come to your mat.
I completed my 200-hour certification in Hatha yoga through Infinite Light Yoga (RYS) in 2019. Outside of the studio, you may spot me out at a local coffee shop or enjoying a nature hike with my husband and dog.
