I have come to teach yoga from a place of seeking solace after experiencing loss and a re-building process. My work as a wilderness guide has fostered a love of nature and curiosity to explore. Becoming a reiki master has helped me form compassion and love for self. Teaching in all capacities including high school students and yogis alike has become the conduit to which I create a purpose for myself while serving others. The culmination of my experiences guide my practice and journey as a yoga teacher to connect with my students; by creating community, while tenderly holding space for others, so they can explore a path not yet taken with compassion and self-love.
