About the Teacher
Why study with them?
"I love the way yoga makes people feel, inside and out. This practice allows me to know more about the spirit within my physical body, and through it I am able to uncover the love and light within myself and share it with the world. I find that I learn something new in every class-whether I am a student or the instructor. In my teachings I love to place an emphasis on positivity, strength, confidence and acceptance-both on and off the mat and off. Life is beautiful, this practice is life changing, and it is an honor to be here.”
I can honestly say teaching yoga is my passion. In 2016 my best friend passed away and I was left completely heartbroken and empty inside. She and I did everything together and had planned a trip to Nepal to become yoga teachers that fall. After a lot of tears and a lot of going back and forth, I ended up going alone and spending 6 weeks there, where I received my 200 hour yoga teacher training. I was immersed in meditation, breathwork and Asana every day and came back with a newfound sense of peace, clarity and gratitude for life. I teach so I can be vulnerable and share my story, in hopes that it will resonate with someone out there going through the same things as me. I am trained in rocket, buti, SUP yoga and Vinyasa and regularly practice the Ashtanga Primary series as well as the 26&2 sequence. A focus on pranayama and meditation is present in all of my classes. Come get out of your head space and into your heart space with me as we learn more about ourselves, let go of limiting beliefs and find gratitude together on and off the mat.
