In 2010 I found myself in a room filled with steam with the temperature peaking at 102 degrees feeling broken in every way, yet invigorated as the water exited the pores in my body.

How I remember this so clearly is because that is the only time the nurses came to relieve me from taking care of my sick mom with Leukemia. I found yoga as an escape from my reality which was a very dark place to be. On the outside, I was strong because I had to be for my mom’s healing but on the inside I was a complete wreck. The more I practiced and worked through the sweat, tears and challenges faced both on and off the mat, the more I noticed my life starting to change. I didn’t realize it at the time but it was through yoga that my life truly transformed not to mention my body and perception of myself and my reality.  “You don’t know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have”.  

I knew I had to give back and help others the way yoga and so many teachers had helped me. As my mom began to get better and better, stronger and stronger everyday, I decided to enroll in Studio Owner, Bethany Vaughn’s teacher training program. I have been teaching for over 13 years a hot and sweaty vinyasa flow style group class, private lessons and workshops.

Yoga Alliance 500 RYT & 200 E-RYT, I studied and practiced with many amazing instructors. I studied the yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar’s teachings that benefit the body, mind and spirit. His teachings are designed for every level of ability, age, and physical condition.

 Through working with me you will not only experience the physical benefits of yoga (asanas), but you will learn how to connect to the place within you that allows healing from the inside out. By connecting the mind with the body and soul, true transformation takes place. By committing to this practice:

  • Self discovery becomes alive.

  • You begin to truly ignite your inner strength.

  • Find the courage to take on any challenge, problem, or obstacle you face.

  • Connect with your body’s ability to heal imbalances with weight and body images.

  • Feel empowered to take your life into your own hands.

  • Melt away layers of fear, worry, grief, and sadness.

  • Build deep confidence in yourself that allows you to be sure of every step you take in life.

I am just a guide to help you access what is already inside you. This is when true transformation takes place. I cannot wait to help you!
