I was introduced to Yoga by a persistent longtime friend who insisted “please try yoga you will love it!” Stuck in the idea that yoga is not for “every body”, I was reluctant but enrolled in a intro class in October of 2012 and my life has never been the same.

The first night of class, I was told “this practice will change your life” and no truer words have been spoken. After a year and a half practicing, I was urged to consider teacher training and again reluctantly (you would think I would have learned by now) went for it. I then attended level one with Baron Baptiste and have just completed my 300 hr training. I am a certified 500 hour yoga teacher, and this all happened after turning 50.

I feel that I have found my true self and am finally comfortable in body through practicing and teaching yoga. To teach and light up the faces and eyes of fellow human beings is the most rewarding experience I could have ever imagined. From meditation to breath and asana, yoga has opened a whole new world for me by keeping me present and “loving the process” of life. I look forward to continuing my journey teaching and enriching the lives of others through the practice of yoga.
