My Mission:

As a yoga teacher, my mission is to promote strength, flexibility, and longevity for a healthy lifestyle. I want to empower individuals of all ages and inspire younger generations to envision what life can be like in their 50s and beyond.

My Goal:

My focus is on enhancing the quality of our longevity as we age by maintaining muscle mass, flexibility, and positive mental well-being through intentional breath and movement.

My Why:

I’m passionate about helping people feel good in their bodies, regardless of their age. It’s never too late to embrace a strong and vibrant life.

My Journey:

My yoga journey began in my 40s. After a decade of running half and full marathons, my body needed flexibility and recovery. I decided to try a Hot Vinyasa Yoga class and discovered that it was very similar to the running workouts I was accustomed to, but without the impact on my body. I continued to take classes on and off over the next couple of years whenever the studio offered a good deal on a monthly class pass.

In 2023, the studio I frequently attended opened a location just three minutes from my home. Eager to "get in shape," I jumped back in and found much more than I expected. I discovered a community, gained physical and mental strength, and experienced a reset—a brief period after each class when my body was able to be at ease. I was hooked.

When the studio offered a 200-hour teacher certification class, I decided to leap, even though I wasn't entirely sure why I wanted to. After nine months of meeting twice a week with fifteen amazing women, stepping outside my comfort zone, allowing myself to be vulnerable, and re-engaging my mind in a learning mode, I achieved my certification and so much more.
