River Flow Yoga and Wellness

My first steps onto a yoga mat were during high school at my dance school’s summer intensive. Having danced my whole life, I had always been connected to movement and the physical aspects of life. As I’ve continued my yoga practice, I have come to learn that yoga encompasses one’s life on a deeper level. It offers a practice of true connection to the body, but also the mind and spirit. This led me to complete my 200-hour YTT with Om Factory School of Yoga in New York City in 2019. Since then I have taught yoga in New Jersey, starting a community program at my town's library and teaching Vinyasa-style yoga, restorative yoga, and family yoga at my childhood dance and wellness studio. Now that I have moved to Columbus, GA, I am thrilled to be joining the RFY tribe.In my classes, you can expect to see an emphasis on integrating the body, mind, and spirit together through breath practice and creative sequences. I believe that yoga is a practice for all, and I strive to guide each student to grow in their yoga journey both on and off the mat.
