My yoga practice began in 2015 after it was suggested for pain relief. After years of working as a landscape gardener my back and hips were no longer functioning as they should. In a short time with consistent practice I was surprised to find how therapeutic and effective the movements and breath work felt in my body, as my pain and anxiety decreased. I also began to notice a subtle shift and softening of my thoughts and mindset and how I treated myself. I decided to dive deeper into studying yoga in 2017, with Jen Jones and completed my 500-Hour RYT with Jen in 2019. Certificates in Wall Yoga L1, Agape Yoga Sharon Kurt, Mindfulness RYT at Renew Yoga, YACEP. With a passion for cooking and Ayurveda, I completed courses in Ayurveda cooking in 2021. Interested in expanding my knowledge in Energy work and sound healing I began training at Center of Sound with Pati Pellerito to certify. *Sonic Massage level 1 in 2020,*Sonic Massage level 2 in 2023. I am currently studying to certify in Trauma Informed Restorative Yoga that will be completed in2023.

I believe that yoga is for Everybody! Knowing that our body and mind, ebb and flow through the changing seasons of life, it's important for me to share accessible, fun, lighthearted classes that are inclusive and community building. In my down time you'll find me cooking, gardening or in nature exploring with my husband of 36years. I have two kids 34 and 23, 3 granddaughters 11, 6 and 1 years old plus our furry friends.
