I haven't been doing yoga forever, but I've always loved stretching growing up. I swam and did theater, but mainly I sat in a metal chair all day like everyone else and boy did it feel great to move my body in a gentle, relaxing matter by the end of it. I started really getting into yoga about 5 years ago, and quickly quit the 9-to-5 to go freelance, packed a bag, and went on my very first yoga retreat - solo. 

 

I spent a week in heaven, aka Aruba, with Yoga Girl Rachel Brathen practicing yoga on the beach, meditating on the water, and being introduced to SUP yoga - poses done on a stand-up paddle board. Returning home I knew that I wanted to teach, study, and share yoga as a part of my life. I then completed my 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified training, and now teach weekly relaxing and dynamic Yoga classes in Las Vegas.

 

I am also a new Mom to my son Leo, a freelance Graphic Designer, an artist who loves DIY projects, and an all-around sun worshiper. I like to think of myself as a "real" yogi in the fact that I get to my mat as often as I can, enjoy a beer after a long bike ride, and have a serious love for everything ice cream. I grew up in Sonoma County, CA and moved to Las Vegas after graduating from Chapman University with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design. I live in North Las Vegas with my husband, our son, and our three rescue pups.
