I am proud to say that I have been a part of the Yoga Shelter community for over 10 years! After my first few classes, I knew yoga would be a part of my life forever.

Throughout my journey I have experienced some health challenges that forced me to take a few breaks from my mat, but I always returned. It was difficult to start over with a healing body that could not do all the things it was once capable of, but I discovered a lot about myself through this process. With each fresh start, I learned to keep a beginner’s mindset; to let go of ego, and not to give up. This helped me develop resilience and perseverance. 

My 17 years of experience as an art teacher has helped me transition smoothly into my new role as a yoga teacher. I recognize each student will come into my class with their own story and their own set of challenges. My job is to accept you wherever you are and support you along the way. Regardless of our experience levels and physical abilities, I invite everyone to come into class with an open mind and heart because I feel we all have so much to learn from each other.

I look forward to meeting you and creating space together.
