I am 200 E-RYT certified with initial Yin training in 2016 with Joanie Cartal and Misako Matsuoka with additional training by Bernie Clark and Paulie Zink, and Restorative training with Cyndi Lee in 2017. Since then I’ve begun additional training with Ashley Turner and continue to work closely with my mentor John Berg.

I began my journey on the yoga path in the summer of 2007. I had just graduated from University , got  engaged, and moved to Santa Barbara, California.Things were a little hectic and I  found myself overwhelmed.  Yoga  became an antidote for anxiety, and a way to regroup after  major life events.

 In the beginning  I started  my practice at home watching  Youtube. Initially for only about 15 minutes a day,however soon that grew to an hour. It didn't take long before my frequent practice created holes in my mat. Upon relocating to the Bay Area In 2012,I began to study with Joanie Cartel who introduced me to Yin yoga as well as Samyama Yoga Center. It was then that I knew ; I was called to teach.

At Samyama I studied under amazing teachers including John Berg,Aniruhd Shastri,Ben Thomas and many more. It was there that I began to cultivate my voice and received my 200 hr RYT certification.  If you have found my site you are contemplating taking that next step. We all take it for different reasons, and just remember: you are in control of your practice.

Now that you are here, dig deep and get to know the real you.As a teacher I hope to provide a space that encourages an inner dialogue, and intuitive way of flowing through poses. This will hopefully allow you to marinate and truly just be...even if just for a moment. During my time off, my husband and I are  spending time with our son,fur children, traveling,camping,and taking our practice to the great outdoors.
