My Biography 

 












 

In 1999, I purchased my first Yoga book and from my very first practice, I was hooked!  I am a registered teacher with Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour level and began teaching April 1, 2005. :) I am a certified Hatha Yoga Teacher through The Temple of Kriya Yoga based in Chicago, Illinois. Practicing yoga is a way of life for me and I feel so fortunate to be able to share the lessons of yoga as a teacher.  I hope that you will be able to take what you learn in class and create or deepen your own personal practice at home.

On a personal note, I have been married to my husband, Matt for sixteen years and we have two beautiful & busy children! :)  Balancing our schedules is always a yoga practice!

While in class, attention is focused on alignment and breath to insure the safety of each student so they can then explore the possibilities in each pose.  It is all a practice... each day we get another chance to try again and see how we progress.  We use the breath to improve our alignment, our awareness of feelings and connections in the body.  It is a wondrous process and path.  Yoga is an opportunity to learn about ourselves and take what we learn on the mat into our life off of the mat.  As long as we keep moving forward with purpose and intention, we will improve at whatever it is we practice.  Allow yourself to hope and see yourself in new ways!
