RYT E-500, Reiki Level 2, Yoga Behind Bars Certified

I am the mother to 6 crazy awesome kids. When I am not playing mom, I love theatre, hiking, and beach vacations. I have a degree in theatre and have been directing children's musicals for the last 10 years. But my most favorite thing in all the world is Yoga.

I was teaching step aerobics and kickboxing at Bally’s total fitness in 2002, when my manager asked if I would also teach yoga. So off to Cleveland I went to take my first hot power yoga class - and then cried the whole way home (if you know, you know!). The physical practice was challenging and exhilarating, but the cleansing and strengthening of my mind and soul was even more amazing. I knew from that first class that my path was forever changed.

I was able to complete my 200 hour teacher training at Yoga Bliss in 2014. More recently I received my 500 hour teacher training certificate at Roots Yoga. I am also a level 2 reiki practitioner, and am certified in Yoga Behind Bars. Additionally, I have trained with Seane Corn, Tiffany Cruikshank, Bryan Kest, Sianna Sherman, Taylor Harkness, Anne Ondrey, and Daven Youngs. I love yoga philosophy and the ancient yoga texts, especially the Sutras of Patanjali, and try to weave their wisdom into my classes. You can expect my classes to be challenging, but also nourishing!
