River Flow Yoga and Wellness

My aunt invited me to my first yoga class when I was 12 years old, and it was love at first asana. Growing up as a dancer, yoga simply felt right. During college, I took classes at Yoga to the People in NYC’s East Village, and it was there I discovered how the breath unites us not only with ourselves, but with our community. For me, the breath is a reminder we are all one and fully connected to the universe.
By the summer of 2011, I completed my 200-hour RYT certification from the White Lotus Foundation, where studied under Ganga White, Tracy Rich, Kent Bond and Sven Holcomb. Currently, I am E-RYT 200 RYT from the Asheville Yoga Center and working towards my RYT 500 certification.

My teaching style and personal practice is very fluid. I have a deep connection with the water element, and, like water, my asana practice lends itself to attuning with our natural desire for flow and movement. Also, my daughter, Willow, continually inspires me to celebrate each moment and live fully in the present moment, which I share with my students.

I fell in love with yoga in my very first savasana. I was 16 and dancing ballet everyday, so yoga seemed like such a natural complement. What I didn’t know is how it changed something deep within me. There was a shift. Ever since then, I've turned to yoga and meditation to feel whole, even while dancing and later on training in running and triathlons.
In early 2017 I decided to quit my desk job and completed my 200-hour YTT from YogaWorks in beautiful and magical Agadir, Morocco. The training was as much a healing process as it was learning yoga. I knew that this knowledge must be shared.

In my classes you can expect to see influence from my dancing background and perhaps a kick in the booty from running and triathlon training! More importantly there will always be a deep respect to the individual. Meeting everyone right where they are. To have compassion, love, and mercy for oneself, so that we can move off of the mat and into the day with complete Self (capital S!) love and awareness!

I took my first yoga class with my mom when I was about 18. We both went in skeptical and came out completely sore, but eager to try again and learn more about the practice. 
I continued to take yoga classes sporadically, but didn’t find its true place in my life until I began my career teaching elementary music in Michigan. As much as I loved my job and my students, I came home every night completely drained from the stress of the day and affected by...
