Who/what influences your teaching and practice currently?

The community! I connect with the teacher in everyone. It helps me grow and be creative when I know more about my students needs. I want everyone to feel successful in my classes and the way to get there is understanding and connecting with each other.

How do you apply yoga practice to your every day life?

Being mindful and always being a student/learning.

What is a fun fact about you?

I do iris readings! I am always on a path to understand overall health and wellness. The most fascinating journey I have researched is looking into an iris! Your iris tells so much about your mental, physical and emotional health.

What can students expect from your class?

In my classes you will explore linking breath to movement, flowing to music, strengthen your core, and feel fulfillment in your day.

All levels are welcome.
