Weekly Yoga Classes

I took my first yoga class in 2013 in an attempt to add physical activity into my routine after an uncomfortable and embarrassing trip to the doctor.  After about two months of twice weekly practice focusing mostly on keeping up with the class and struggling with how my body didn’t fit into the physical postures, something shifted in my mind.  My inner critic quieted down just enough for me to feel strong at challenging my body in some of the poses.

As I continued to attend classes my relationship with my body was transformed from one of negativity and contempt into one of acceptance and joyful movement.  Without the constant self-criticism, I was able then to work on other parts of my life, changing it for the better, and ultimately feeling the pull to help others on this life journey.

Looking around, there weren't many yoga instructors that looked like me.  So in 2020 with all the chaos and change happening, I decided to try something new.  I signed up for a 200h teacher training, learned so much, about yoga and myself and ultimately grew the confidence to do this on my own.

Ultimately, I want to be the yoga teacher I needed when I started my yoga journey.
