I took my first yoga class to find variety in my exercise routine. I didn’t know much about yoga except that it was supposed to help calm and center you, while aiding in flexibility. It sounded great to me since I had issues with anxiety as well.

After my first class, I felt great but thought, “This is just stretching.” As I kept returning to the classes and reading about yoga philosophy, I noticed so much more than just stretching. I felt a sense of calm, a strength within myself that I rarely connected to before practicing yoga. I decided to become an instructor because I wanted to open up the world of yoga to those, who like me, found it mysterious and even a bit scary at first. I love to see a student discover that beauty within an asana or when they begin to notice that mind, body, breath connection!

I trained with Tracey Rich and Ghanga White at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA. I wanted to do an intensive training so I could immerse myself in the experience 24/7. I loved it so much! I learned a Hatha Vinyasa Flow which helped me to grow spiritually. I knew I was on the right path!
