About

I started practicing yoga in 2006, mainly to bring some stretching into my high-intensity workout routine. I really enjoyed the physical asanas, but it wasn’t until early 2020 when I realized - through pain and immobility - that it was time to deepen my practice. My body was storing stress, emotions, and memories, and I wanted to process those things by learning to meditate.🧘‍♀️

Starting with just 5-10 minutes of meditation a day (using an app) and my inner world immediately opened to me. I felt like I discovered who I really am, what I really want and need. These discoveries totally debunked the societal rules and expectations that had been driving my life choices up until that point. I was 38 at the time, married, with a young son, getting my dopamine by being a high achiever at work and largely feeling lost and disconnected from self + spirit.✨

So, I shook up my life. My ex and I amicably divorced, I dove head first into my practice - and, by extension, deeper into myself - and I continued to hear an inner calling to go further into yoga as a way of life. I had so many inspirational live and virtual teachers during this time and I’m so grateful for their giving and guidance.

I graduated from 200hr YTT in May 2023, and am learning every day as a new teacher, through practice + education. I’ve barely scratched the surface of the wisdom yogic and descendant philosophies impart, and I feel a tireless curiosity within me.
