In my past career in the Air Force the running, sit-ups, and pushups required of me didn’t leave my body or me wanting for more. When I began my civilian career I felt I needed to find my own brand of physical fitness so I began searching for a physical activity that made more sense to my body. After moving to Virginia, I began my yoga journey, with a Groupon, thinking it would be a good way to kill some time while my husband was deployed with the Navy. I loved how yoga made my body feel, and began to observe subtle differences in how it looked (hey, triceps, where’d You come from?), but what I really noticed was the little shift happening in my brain. Things I would have normally freaked out about, like traffic on 64, or the inevitable things falling apart in the house the moment my husband left the pier, became a little easier to breathe through once I learned to allow space for my breath.
I completed my RYT 200 training in June 2014 at Tribal Yoga in Hampton, VA, where I teach and continue to be a student.
I love to practice many styles and variations of yoga, but my teaching specialty is in gentle flow and restorative yoga. My goal in teaching is to truly make yoga accessible to anyone who wants it.
