Growing up in the woods, I was given the unique opportunity as a child to grow alongside the plants and animals that flourished in the forest around me. Catching crawdads in the stream behind my house and eating red raspberries off the vines was a favorite past time for me. Being able to grow in these environments was something that shaped the human I am today and the way that I practice not only my yoga but my life around me. Coming back to play, our breath and aliveness is really what helps me consistently call back into myself. I am a movement junkie and love dance and all forms of movement that push my mind, body and spirit. I love being gentle with myself and I also love being pushed to my growth edges and beyond which translates in my teaching style. I received my YTT in 2024 with Awaken Yoga School, which bring story, song and play back into the otherwise strict practice of yoga. It gives permission to the student to give themselves the practice they need that day, you want structure, you can take it, you need to play, you can fall out of a position and come back in. I love leaving room for experiementation and bringing community back into yoga.  Excited to wiggle with you all!
