Hello beautiful souls! I’ve been a student of yoga since 2002, but became a dedicated yogi in 2015 after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and potential Lupus markers. In 3 months, yoga successfully transformed my health from a life of constant pain (sometimes just making it down the stairs was a challenge!) to one of escalating joy, freedom, and lightness. Yoga has literally saved my life, and in 2016 I decided to undergo teacher training in my home state of Arizona. I received my RYT-200 certification in early 2017 and have been sharing the yoga love ever since.

Another facet of my passion for whole body wellness includes meditation, and I find joy in weaving practices into our yoga sessions that encourage awakening into and marinating within the generous present moment. I find the Native American Flute exudes a peaceful, meditative sound and I love to play it during Savasana. I might also bring in some Tibetan bowls, bells, and my drum from time to time.
Healthy eating and cooking from scratch are other little obsessions of mine, and I delight in sharing yummy whole food, plant based recipes that are both kid and grown-up approved.
Speaking of kids, I have five of them—three in elementary school, one in middle school, and one in college at ASU. We love anything outdoors and just moved to Fayetteville this July (adding some extra crazy to 2020). You might find us on a trail taking pictures of all the crazy mushrooms we keep finding here. Our catalog grows on a weekly basis. We’re a military family and have lived in Phoenix (Arizona), Vicenza (Italy), Colorado Springs (Colorado), Bettendorf (Iowa), Charlottesville (Virginia), and Vine Grove (Kentucky). Fun fact, my husband used to be in the wine industry before joining the Army, so let me know if you need help determining what wine pairs best with your meal.
Up next for me? I’m excited to learn the art of conducting sound baths, become a licensed massage therapist, and continue my education of all things yoga. See you in class!
