ABOUT US

I walked into my first Bikram yoga class having no idea how it would change my life. After practicing for only 3 months I went to my first intensive teacher training under Bikram Choudhury in 2004. www.bikramyoga.com This disciplined style of hatha yoga was changing my life as well as all of my students right before my eyes. I needed to learn more, so I continued studying the Bikram/Bishnu Gosh lineage with Jimmy Barkan. www.jimmyyoga.com From there I traveled to Mysore, India and studied meditation and Atma Vikasa yoga at the Center of Yogic Sciences. www.atmavikasayoga.com I completed level I and level II teacher training under Baron Baptiste. www.baronbaptiste.com More recently, I studied ashtanga with Beryl Bender Birch. www.power-yoga.com Some of the greatest classes I have taken for personal growth, are through Landmark Education. www.landmarkeducation.com

I continue to study under great master teachers, to understand my practice on a deeper level, and therefore able to share it with you. My hands on teaching style will challenge you physically, spiritually and mentally, taking you to your absolute edge. I will teach you from my heart what I know to be true and the possibilities are endless. I have a burning desire to spread yoga, like the common cold, to as many people as I can get my hands on. Watching the transformation of my students melts my heart in a way nothing else can. The transformation lies in the discipline of your everyday practice, of unrolling your mat, and being present.

I have a wonderful husband, Jay, who also practices yoga as well. Together, we share a beautiful daughter, Gabrielle, and a Tcup poodle YaYa. I received my bachelors degree from Eastern Michigan University as a Registered Dietitian, specializing in HIV and cardiac rehab. Up until I started teaching yoga I was a dancer for Kid Rock, touring and also dancing for local events.
