Biography: I discovered yoga several years ago through a friend of mine who spoke endlessly about its benefits. Yoga became my personal time for physical and emotional well-being. I started with a home practice and added in group classes. When my daughter began kindergarten, I decided to pursue my own education and to become a yoga teacher. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I had been a school social worker, helping children and adults to work towards emotional balance. Practicing and teaching yoga was an easy and natural transition for me, especially when I realized that yoga works the body in the same way that therapy works the mind. I no longer work directly in social work, but the experience I gained in that profession has guided my path in yoga. In addition to teaching adults, I have found a calling in teaching children's yoga. I currently work with children from ages 4 and up. Young children are natural yogis. Their energy and enthusiasm is inspiring. Older children can use the yoga mat to explore emerging feelings and experiences. As I guide each children’s yoga class, I am humbled by the youthful teachers in the class. Their playfulness, honesty, and willingness to explore brighten my heart. I became a Registered Yoga Teacher in December, 2005. After teaching for 1000 plus hours, I pursued the Experienced Yoga Teacher registration through Yoga Alliance. I am very excited and honored to not only teach students, but to guide teachers as well. This journey brings me so much each and every day. I am blessed to share this ancient tradition.
I strive to teach my yoga classes engaging a balance between physical challenge and emotional freedom. I enjoy the duality of yoga and find that it mirrors the many oppositional concepts of life. As I continue to explore yoga as a practice and as a perpetual student, I find inspiration in the principles of Anusara Yoga and Iyengar Yoga. These forms of yoga explore each pose and its alignment in the body. Therefore, the breath can flow more freely and we are able to experience the liberation and beauty of yoga. As we flow from one pose to the next in the Vinyasa style, we can lose ourselves in the rhythm of yoga and find the pulse of the enlightened heart within.
