Vinyasa yoga found its way into her life during college in 2009 and she quickly discovered that consistent practice resulted in a totally new relationship to her body and mind. After exploring a range of yoga styles she completed a 200hr yoga teacher training at Kula Yoga Project with Nikki Vilella and other amazing teachers in 2017. Since her initial training, she has continued to study integrative anatomy and completed a training in Self Myofascial Release (self massage/ball rolling) with Jill Miller. Inspired by the benefits of self massage and captivated by human anatomy, she left a career in Fashion Design to focus on becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist. Her other loves include ice skating, rock climbing, time outdoors and making things with her hands. She is so excited and honored to have the opportunity to share yoga with others and continue the lifelong process of learning.
