I began teaching yoga in 2012 after completing Yoga Teacher training at Joyful Yoga in Bonita Springs, FL.
Trained in vinyasa, my teaching style is light hearted and fun while still allowing space for the mind, body and breath to connect.
I believe yoga is for every body and do my best in classes to provide modifications and amplifications for varying levels of fitness. See you on the mat!

My love of yoga started many moons ago (1990’s) at military instillations while traveling around the world with my family.  After my husband retired from the military, we settled down Pittsburgh and I fell in love with “hot power yoga”.   Initially I was drawn to the physical aspect of yoga but soon realized the mind body connection.  I received my Yoga Alliance 200 hour RYT from Amazing Yoga of Pittsburgh.   I also studies Yin Yoga at Lotus Pond Yoga in Tampa, FL.  

Yoga has taught me the importance of being more present, more mindful, and more balanced. It has taught me to slow down and appreciate each day as it comes.  It has helped me negotiate the injuries and surgeries I have had to deal with over the years and made me appreciate my strong healthy body. I love to share yoga with anyone who wants to “show up on the mat”!!
