I earned my 200 hour yoga teacher certification in Koh Phan-gan, Thailand, receiving a unique and non-Western approach to yoga. My learning involved asanas (poses), meditation, multiple yoga styles (Hatha, vinyasa, Nidra, etc), chanting, history, and philosophy. Along with this training, I have had a self-practice for numerous years now as well as amazing teachers.

My background in education (elementary), anthropology, coaching (gymnastics and rock climbing), and fitness has helped me to view the body and mind holistically. I think that when the physical body is in balance, the mind can be at ease, and vice-versa. I believe that any person is capable and can benefit from yoga.

As a teacher, I am patient, encouraging, respectful, and knowledgeable. I enjoy working with all ages and types of people, and find such self-benefit from teaching, because I am learning as well.
