Teaches in: Woodinville and Chelan

In 2012, I earned my RYT® 200 2011. After I found yoga in 2009, I felt like I needed to share it, almost a social responsibility that I had. Yoga has taught me so much that I could go on forever. But part of what yoga has taught me, is to be present, to show up, take care of myself, take care of others, be helpful however I can, to be kind… it really goes on and on, and its always changing. That is part of what keeps us yogis, both teachers and students, coming back to our mats. It’s a lifelong practice and learning. What you learn in a yoga class, you don’t leave it there, you take it all with you. The balance, the humility, the strength, the flexibility, the compassion, it is all translated over into our daily lives. We aren’t always at our best, we can’t be. But we have to show up, every day and yoga helps us do that.

One of my favorite aspects of teaching yoga is when a new student walks into my class for the first time. It is very vulnerable showing up to your first class. Not knowing what to exoect or what will happen. It Is powerful. And to be able to help guide students on their journey, that I am also on, as a student myself, is just really incredible and something that I am so fortunate to have found.

Favorite Yoga Pose: I love cobra pose. Lifting the chest, stretching the spine, breathing in deeply, softening the face… it all just feels amazing!!

What is something most people don’t know about you? I freaking LOVE Metallica.
