My History

 

My first introduction to yoga was in 2015, and the more I dove into yoga and meditation, the more it truly intrigued me. I spent an immense amount of time learning about different holistic, mindfulness and wellness practices. They inspired a significant shift in my life. It was easier for me to move through my daily life stressers. The phrase 'mind over matter' truly came into play; my challenges began to feel like opportunities.

 

In 2021, I wanted those around me to know and experience this same type of enlightenment. So, I began my first yoga teacher training program. Shortly after that 200-hour certifiation, I completed a second (300-hour) yoga teacher training program. Eager to recieve more knowledge, I dove into the studies of how sound and frequency can heal your body from the inside out-I became a certified sound healer. I took it even one step further-I wanted more insight on the physical body to help people heal, and so I became a Massage Therapist in January of 2026.​

My Philosophy

 

Yoga means unity. The goal of yoga is to use its love and light to unify the world, creating a sense of wholeness and inner peace in each individual. Yoga is truly for any and everyone, and has much more than just physical benefits.

 

There are actually 8 different limbs that make up yoga - yamas (abstinences), niyama (observances), asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (absorption). Every single limb will harmonize and enrich our lives. Imagine the benefits of integrating one or more of these eight limbs of yoga into a daily practice. In the classes I teach, I make sure to incorporate the use of multiple limbs-honoring the ancient yogic philosophy. By practicing any or all of these 8 limbs of yoga, an immense amount of peace and love will flow through you, making life a warm summer breeze.
