My passion for practicing and teaching yoga comes from the desire to help others live a healthier, happier, and more embodied life. It has taught be to be more patient, balanced and mindful in all aspects of my life. in 2007 I enrolled in a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and upon completion, I began teaching classes to my colleagues at work. The experience was the start of a brand new path that brought me back to my home town where I have been teaching since 2008 at various locations.
