- Ten years ago I was a cardio junkie. My daily routine consisted of a cardio class at lunch and weight training in the evening followed by an hour of running, biking or watching TV from an elliptical machine. The challenge that I was facing was that I couldn’t sleep. Having shared this with a friend she suggested that I try yoga.

A few weeks later I tried a BodyFlow class at the gym and walked out thinking it really wasn’t for me, however I was wrong and that night I slept...and I slept well. This eventually lead to me trying a yoga class. In a short amount of time I began to really enjoy yoga and started wanting more. In my search for more I walked into my first hot yoga class and got hooked. My butt had been kicked and I still slept like a baby that night.

I continued to explore the world of yoga and booked what I thought to be a relaxing yoga retreat with Baron Baptiste. It ended up being an incredibly intensive Power Yoga Teacher Training/Bootcamp but my life was transformed. Since that time I have accumulated over 500 hours of training under Baron Baptiste, including Level 1, Level 2, The Great Program and the Art of Assisting. In October of 2011 I was invited to assist Baron at an all day immersion in Chicago.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to share my practice with the community.
