Yoga Background

When I was in high school, I went to my first yoga class and instantly fell in love with it. Over the last 15 years, I have tried many different fitness classes but always found myself returning to my first love, yoga. Moving around for work and school, I have practiced yoga in three different states and met many amazing yoga instructors. This led me to finally decide to fulfill my dream of completing yoga teacher training in Fall of 2022. Although I am new to being a yoga teacher, I have many years of yoga experience and am passionate about teaching. When I am not in the yoga studio, I am busy working for a nonprofit and exploring with my dog, Kirby.

• Anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to ensure I teach yoga in a safe way that accommodates various abilities;
• And teaching methodology to create thoughtful courses that challenge students by building sequences of increasingly more difficult poses while providing both correction cues and deepening cues;
• Ultimately culminating in teaching a 45 minute vinyasa class to 15 students ranging from beginners to fellow teachers.
