RYT 200

One summer in grad school, I decided to try a hot power vinyasa class in the style of Baron Baptiste. From there, I was hooked. My passion for yoga was sparked by the ability to lose myself in the practice and to fall into the present. The intense yoga practice with which I had fallen in love gave me a reason to start taking care of myself by getting more sleep, drinking more water, and eating healthier. As yoga started changing my life, I started noticing the words my teachers were telling me on my mat were starting to creep into other aspects of my life. In 2014, I finished my 200-hour teacher training at Tribal Yoga, an affiliate of Rolf Gates Vinyasa Teacher Training. The philosophy and power of yoga have helped to pull me through periods of stress and anxiety and I successfully finished my PhD shortly after my teacher training.
