"Sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." ~ Lewis Carroll

Yoga came into my life as a rehabilitative and therapeutic healing modality for recovery from Army injuries and then for managing chronic pain. My yoga practice began in the Anusara lineage, and then added Khundalini yoga when I studied at the Yoga Phoenix Gurdwara. After a decade of mat work, I decided to complete my initial yoga teacher training. Then just for fun, in 2010, I opened the first yoga studio in Leavenworth, Kansas, with intention to serve the military population and their families. I sold the studio after four years, when I was reassigned back to Fort Bragg. I continue my yoga studies, completing additional certifications in post-trauma and adaptive yoga, yin yoga, iRest Yoga Nidra, Yoga Warriors International, and Wisdom Warriors. I am also a Reiki healer.

Yoga helps me feel better in my body, and I have seen the difference it can make in others. I bring my knowledge of postural alignment and biomechanics to the practice, with awareness moving the body into the poses. I've learned not to take life too seriously, and playing in the poses reflects my attitude toward this human experience. I look forward to meeting you on the mat.
