What brought you to yoga?
I overestimated how long it would take to ride my bike to my college campus one day and ended up walking into a sunrise yoga class at the student rec center to burn time. I showed up to that yoga class and many others after because I finally felt like my body had a place and rhythm.

What’s your yoga background and what are you most passionate about teaching?
After establishing a regular practice at a hot power yoga studio in my hometown, I took yoga classes nonstop for six months, became 200hr certified, and have since moved states and. taught for two years! I’m most passionate about encouraging students to play and explore movement and breathe— I love games, metaphors, and silly sayings.

What would your students be surprised to know about you?
I grew up playing cello and learned to play the trumpet on a dare!
