My Story

My Journey Began With a Desire...

Growing up in a busy household led to a busy, modern adult life. Although I loved the pace of my life and the exhilaration of achieving, the stress that came along with living my life in that way began to affect me. This began to manifest as a mind that could not focus, a girl who began to make life choices not congruent with her lifestyle vision, and a downward spiral of not being present.  The day came when I knew something needed to shift....

The Moment Yoga Came Into My Life...

It was 1998, I was in Barnes & Noble looking for guidance on how to help myself and I stumbled upon The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. As I turned to the back of the book  I came across the statement “practical, down-to-earth advice on mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental, and emotional harmony in life through applying the ancient, yet eternally useful techniques of Raja Yoga.” It was that day that my journey began. I read the Sutras and began to make small changes in life. These small shifts started to make ripples in my life that steered me back on my path. I left college, enrolled in massage school, dedicated myself back to my healthy, vegetarian diet and started a simple meditation practice. In 1998, I actively sought out Yoga Asana, tried many styles, and in 2003 I found a style that I really resonated with. It was then in 2003 that all the pieces of myself began to come together. I finally felt at home in my body. My mind was more clear than ever before and I started to have the opportunity to sit longer in meditation. This then lead to me really having the opportunity to tune into the organization of my life and care for myself in a way that made my busy life seem like a breeze and one that began to serve me; rather than one I was a slave to. 

My Path As A Yoga Teacher...

My journey on this path has been fueling an inner flame that continuous to spark a desire for knowledge of living a holistic life, including living not only symbiotically with myself, but to a life equanimous with the earth, the seasons, and the planets. In 2003, I shared how Yoga was able to lead me to restore my life back in to balance and rejuvenate my health with one of my teachers.  Through sharing this personal experience with one of my teachers the suggestion of taking a teacher training was made and I immediately enrolled! Today, I continue to share my passions of Yoga and healthy living.
