I have been practicing yoga on and off since college. Last year I was in a particularly tough spot in my life where I had lost sight of who I was, where I wanted to be and how I wanted to live. I had found Radiance and threw myself into a community that was welcoming, supportive and helped to guide me back on my path. And as much as Radiance held the space, I appreciated that all of the work really was on me. I got to choose where to push, I got to understand that sometimes life needs some ease, and I learned that it is okay to ask for support. And as I fell in love with yoga, I kept saying “why not”. Why not find time for myself every day? Why not join YTT? Why not try teaching? Why not go for my child yoga certification? I love yoga because I truly believe that it has the power to teach the yogi about themselves and how strong and capable they are. I want every student in my class to feel strong, empowered and completely in control of their life on and off the mat.

I absolutely love the feeling in a class as a student, when you lose yourself in the movement, when maybe you dance a little because the music is speaking to you, or what a teacher says really strikes a chord, or when you feel flowy and beautiful. I hope to bring that kind of energy to my classes every single day. I love a nice long flowing sun sal A, lots of twists,  having fun with balancing and trying new poses! I look forward to learning and growing with you at my favorite place to be!
