Teacher doesn't have an intro yet

My yoga journey began in 2012 during my second pregnancy when I came to the practice seeking relief from sciatica and restless legs. What began as physical support soon became a deeper path of self-discovery. Through a class that wove yoga philosophy into movement, I discovered yoga as a way of living.

Since then, yoga has carried me through motherhood, life transitions, and personal loss, shaping the way I meet change with steadiness, resilience, and a commitment to living the practice.

In 2018, I completed my first Yoga Teacher Training at Vibe Yoga under the guidance of Gayla Crysler and Heather Ward, with an emphasis on deepening spiritual practice. My studies in the history and philosophy of yoga with Eric Shaw further grounded my understanding of the tradition. Since then, I have pursued continued education in Yin Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, and Chakra Healing, and have accumulated over a thousand hours of teaching experience.

In September 2024, I completed a transformative 300-hour training in Yoga and Ayurveda in Peru with the School Yoga Institute. Studying under Raquel Bueno and Anita Sundaram — within a lineage influenced by teachers such as Mas Vidal, Rod Stryker, Dr. Vasant Lad, and Chase Bossart — deeply shaped the way I teach, lead, and live. This immersion strengthened my devotion to seasonal rhythm, ritual, and nervous-system–informed practice rooted in both yoga and Ayurveda.

Today, I lead 200-hour teacher trainings, facilitate workshops, and host retreats with a focus on integrating movement, breath, meditation, ritual, and Ayurveda into sustainable, embodied practice.

Outside the studio, I am a mother of three and co-homeschool our two youngest children with my husband. I find joy in cooking, ritual, astrology, and the everyday practices that keep life grounded.

I believe yoga is meant to be lived, not perfected, and my work is an offering of the practices that continue to guide me home.
