Hello and welcome to my website Breathe, Move, Be.

The most common protest I hear from people about coming to a yoga class is, “I’m not flexible!” Let me tear the walls of judgment, competition, and expectations down right now and share something with you. Yoga isn’t about perfecting a goal but becoming one with the moment and learning to let go.

My journey into the world of yoga started 22 years ago. I was lost in a panicked haze, “what the hell am I doing with my life?!” Always being a fan of physical activity and looking for something more, I went into my first yoga class. It was a unique and authentic experience, and I walked out in tears (the good kind). The release I experienced and the sense of presence I connected with during that class changed my life.

After years of practice with all kinds of teachers in places all over, the opportunity presented to take a teacher training in Juneau, Alaska, where I lived. Working towards my yoga teacher certification was a unique opportunity, as I lived in a small Alaskan town but a remarkable (rainy) place to fully commit myself to my studies. My primary instructor through the process of working towards my 200-hour RYT certification was Kristin Mabry with YogaFit. She inspired, stretched, and motivated me to embrace the oneness we all share and celebrate the uniqueness that each student and teacher can bring to a yoga class experience.

I am, and always will be, a lifetime yoga student. I love teaching because it allows me to share the best little bits of yoga knowledge that have intrigued, relaxed, and excited me. I can’t imagine not sharing the light this discipline has blessed my life with! It’s also a place for me to share some killer jams while moving the body with focused strength and acceptance.

If you want me to teach a yoga class, please get in touch with me. I’m always seeking new venues and opportunities to connect and share yoga with others.
