The mental reset, physical challenge, and focus on the present moment hooked me from the beginning. After years of dedicated practice at the Cedar Park studio, I attended the Journey Into Power (Vinyasa) teacher training at PURE. Fun Fact: When not on my mat, I dedicate much of my energy to my husband and beautiful daughters.

After 6 years of service in the Army, I struggled with the challenge of returning to civilian life. I thought I would use yoga as a mobility practice to help me with other endeavors like ultra running and endurance challenges. Little did I know I had stumbled upon a whole universe of possibilities! There is no better feeling than seeing students light up when you bring your all to class and then getting to join them side by side as peers when I am taking another class myself. Fun Fact: I expanded the classes I teach to Hot Yoga HIIT!

After taking my first class in 2012 following years of Ballet and long-distance running, my life changed forever. Yoga not only healed my Achilles tendinitis and an injury to my MCL and meniscus, it also improved countless other aspects of my life. Fun Fact: I've taught this Yoga all over the world, including New York City, Illinois, Florida, Nice, France, and Vienna, and Austria.

I have always kept a steady yoga practice to maintain my overall health, longevity and spirituality. I began to implement the teachings and practices of yoga into everything I did, and my life became infinitely more magical than I could have ever dreamed up! Health and sobriety have helped me achieve my dreams of helping others to rise up their fullest potential as well. This is all I ever want to do- to show others that anything is possible. Fun Fact: I am also an accomplished ballet and modern dancer.
