I rolled out my yoga mat for the first time in 2005 in a gentle yoga class taught by a coworker. That night I felt and slept better than I had in years. What I didn’t know was how yoga would transform my life. After 16 years of practice, I enrolled in teacher training at Source Energy Studio in Lakewood, Ohio. I earned my Vinyasa 200-hour certification from Source Energy Yoga. I am registered with Yoga Alliance. Subsequently in 2022 I completed the Kidding Around Children’s Yoga Certification. While I will always see myself as a student, I realized that I have a passion for teaching. I read somewhere that all you need to do is be a bridge. I hope to be that bridge for my students. The bridge from who they are to who they are becoming both on and off the mat. I cherish my practice with my 7-year-old daughter. It is this practice that she and I have shared since her birth that led me to become a certified children’s yoga instructor. I am so honored and privileged to share yoga with children and families.
