I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years and this beautiful journey has bestowed upon me tremendous bliss and peace.  Like so many others, I came to yoga with the thought it would be an addition to my fitness routine, and, it certainly became as such.  However, along my yoga road I began to experience the true essence of yoga.  My body and breath began to relax, my mind became calmer and focused and I began to discover a new inner self. In the hectic environment we belong to, the calming effect of yoga assists to bring us back to the present moment and reminds to take care of oneself.

My desire to study yoga more deeply led me to embark on a teacher training program and hold a Yoga Alliance E-RYT 200 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Certification, and, Yoga Alliance and International Kundalini Yoga Teacher Association Teacher Certification.  In addition, I hold certificates to teach yoga specific for depression, anxiety, PTSD, addictions and personal experience with yoga for cancer.

I hear so many people say they cannot do yoga because they are “not flexible enough” and my reply is “Everyone can do yoga!” My classes include therapeutic techniques that will begin to strengthen and release tension in the various muscles along with various breath meditations to enable the whole body and mind to release the stored stress.

When I am not on my yoga mat at home or in a yoga studio, you can find me out hiking with my husband and our four labs or kayaking on a nearby lake or river.

Come flow with me and share the beautiful practice of yoga!

Blessings and Peace – Namaste – Sat Nam!
