She received her 200 hour certification in SomaYoga in March 2017.

“Yoga allows me to open, to feel, to believe and trust in my own experiences. It teaches me to be flexible, to focus, to find strength and playfulness. A back injury and long-standing chronic pain drew me to a yoga practice. Here I found calm, connection to my body and no pain; a space I didn’t know existed. It was transformative and I was hooked. A journey of reconnection follows my current teaching style and philosophy – to connect with your body no matter what body or emotional state you live with including paralysis, brain injury or anxiety. My intention as a teacher is to allow you to slow down and connect inwardly with a sense of playfulness leading you to open to your true, authentic self. “

Life is a journey. Live your path in finding YOU!
