The journey began long ago... From a young age I sought out new physical challenges. Ballet and running lead me to a deeper understand of the bodily mechanics and stretching. In 2008 I found myself in the depths of WWU's ballet program. Exhausted. Soon after the long hours of dancing were damaging my body and spirit. 

 

 

In 2008 I began to dig into the benefits of an asana yoga practice. Being drawn towards self study as a young adult I promptly changed course. Yoga lead me south to Arizona and back north to Seattle. Under John Wilson, I studied the sutras of Patanjali in the Viniyoga lineage gaining my first certification (RYT200). I began teaching before certifying through the Yoga Alliance in 2011. After sharing many beautiful years teaching within the Greater Seattle Area... It was time to explore!

 

 

In 2014 life and yoga lead me all over the world! Hawaii, Maui, Amsterdam, Ireland, Wales, London, Oahu, Kauai, Bend, Portland. Traveling has been such a humbling blessing, much like yoga... Possessions and controllable situations can no longer be identified as 'you'. The challenges were vast, earning another yoga designation (E-RYT200), but this blissful journey changed my life! 

 

 

After the completion of my second Yoga Alliance certification (RTY500) abroad in 2014, I felt compelled to share this yogic joy here in the Pacific Northwest: to give back to the communities who first invested in me. Since 2015, I have been delivering a unique yogic mindset and practice to the Pacific Northwest and seasonally beyond. My deep joy of connection through literary works grew through the completion of my BA in English in 2017: Creative & Professional Writing, Literature & Linguistics and specializations in design. The elements of visual manipulation bring about great creative expression and foster connection.

 

 

Since settling in the Wenatchee Valley, I have achieved the highest designations (E-RYT500, YACEP) and have had the honor to lead other yogis to share. Yoga teacher training is my passion; the joy of watching clients and students blossom is overflowing. Yoga transforms the individual, yet thrives in community. We are all very human and thus we seek to understand the individual, yet our desire to connect remains. Everything in balance. If we learned to love more and hate less, while cultivating the unity of uniqueness, we might just find a winning combination.

 

 

Through our practice together, let’s pause to notice the joy happening around. Cultivate that bliss! Honor your truest self; let your beauty shine! 

I can’t wait to practice with you, friends. Namaste.
