About Me

Yoga is more than a practice; it's a way of life. Since 2006, yoga has helped me create health and well-being from the inside out. What began in a gym quickly became a powerful path of healing, self-discovery, and transformation.

​

I started teaching in 2010 after completing my first Vinyasa training, but over time my path led me to the Ashtanga method. In 2016, I committed fully to a daily Ashtanga Yoga practice, which continues to be the foundation of my personal healing and spiritual growth. As a person in recovery, my daily sadhana; Ashtanga yoga, Vipassana meditation, and support from the recovery community—has helped me rebuild my life with clarity, resilience, and purpose.

​

From hands-on apprenticeship training in a Mysore room to long-term mentorships with respected teachers, I’ve spent years deepening my studies. Today, I teach Ashtanga Yoga with an emphasis on consistency, compassion, and transformation—offering space for others to meet themselves fully on the mat.

​

Whether you're new to yoga or deepening your practice, I’m honored to support you on your path.

​

Teaching Philosophy

I believe that yoga—particularly Ashtanga—is a discipline that reveals its gifts through dedication and presence. My approach honors tradition while making space for the real-life challenges of recovery, healing, and spiritual inquiry. I meet students where they are and support them in building a sustainable, personal practice that can carry them through every season of life.

When I am not on a yoga mat or behind a desk you can find me hiking with my husband or snuggling with my pups. We have a quiet life south of Atlanta on 6 acres and I am very very grateful.
