What brought you to yoga?
I started practicing yoga my freshman year of high school, initially from a Rodney Yee DVD, and kundalini class at my local recreation center. I fell in love pretty immediately and have been practicing ever since!
What’s your yoga background and what are you most passionate about teaching?
I completed my 200 hour teacher training at Yoga Connection in 2014, and continued my studies throughout the years receiving certifications in children’s yoga, restorative yoga, and somatic practice. I especially enjoy teaching both vinyasa and restorative yoga classes.
What would your students be surprised to know about you?
Outside of the studio, I enjoy holding space for my community through circles, workshops, and retreats; cultivating spaces that center on self-preservation and social justice. I also work in non-profit management and am a trained full-spectrum doula.
