I was first introduced to yoga in about 2001 when I picked up a yoga book from my local library and began a home practice. In 2008 I took my first in-person yoga class at my local gym. I have maintained my yoga journey ever since. Over the years I have become more interested in deepening my understanding of yogic history, traditions, and philosophies and dreamed of getting my yoga teacher certification.

I took my 200hr & 300hr yoga teacher training with Heartwood Yoga Institute & Retreat Center. I am a Yoga Alliance 500-RYT and RCYT and an ordained minister. I hold additional certifications in restorative yoga, yin yoga, and yoga Nidra.
