I am a 200-hr Registered Yoga Teacher with certifications in Trauma Informed Yoga Instruction and Black Mental Health and Healing Justice Peer Support. I am currently working obtaining my 95-hr Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT) and 500-hr Registered Yoga Teacher certifications. On the home front, I am a mother of 3 beautiful girls and caretaker of 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 leopard geckos and 2 lop-eared bunnies! I have been involved in fitness since high school and was a certified personal trainer and massage therapist while I attended Texas State University for my Undergraduate degree. While in college, I took a yoga class to add to my fitness repertoire and immediately fell in love. Recognizing the physical, mental and emotional benefits, I dreamt of becoming a teacher so that I could expose more people to this wonderful tool of self-care. Fast forward to “#momlife”, in a post-pandemic era, it became apparent that many children (and adults) need to incorporate yoga and/or meditation into a daily routine. Spending two years with minimal interaction with the outside human world left people scared, stressed, and anxious among a myriad of other things. Helping kiddos of all ages (and their families) is something I am very passionate about. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that balance is key to our emotional, mental and physical health. When there is balance in all three areas, we are more confident, patient, and able to tackle challenges seamlessly!What I love about Kidding Around Yoga is that it allows children (and adults) to connect with who they really are, find joy, have fun, and still learn all the great skills that yoga can offer! I look forward to seeing you in class and learning and growing with each and every one of you!
