My teaching style is: Inclusive...I want everyone to feel welcome in my classes.
My teaching style is: Inclusive...I want everyone to feel welcome in my classes.
My favorite yoga pose is: Supta Bhada Konasana -- It truly makes me feel open and relaxed.
Yoga has helped me overcome: anxiety and boost my self-confidence.
I love my arms because: they keep my stable and help me open my heart.
You must try this healthy snack: greek yogurt with almond butter and granola.
My favorite Sanskrit word or phrase is Namaste because: I bow with gratitude to all of the amazing people around me everyday.
My advice for beginning yogis is: be gentle with yourself -- mind, body, and spirit. Somedays are easier than other for yogis at any level.
I’m most grateful for: or the support of my family and friends, without them I don’t know where I would be.
The most exotic place I’ve practiced yoga is: Scottsdale, AZ surrounded by mountains.
If I could practice yoga with anyone it would be Betty White because: I think she’s be a hoot to do yoga with and she more than likely has so much knowledge to share.
I’m excited to take my yoga to the next level because: I want to help change people’s life with yoga like it changed mine.
My heroes are: my grandma, mom and sister. The toughest women I have ever met. If I can live to be half of what they are I will consider that a success.
My one wish for the world is: for everyone to have more compassion and understanding. You never know what the person next to you is going through and a simple smile or hello could totally change their day.

- My teaching style is: Evolving with an emphasis on safety & exploration.
- My favorite yoga pose is: Downward Facing Dog
- Yoga has helped me overcome: My inner “critic”. I am learning that yoga can be a path to self-acceptance which potentially is one of the most difficult paths to follow.
- I love my feet because: It is our feet that support us every day in our physical endeavors
- My favorite deity or god/goddess is Shiva Bhairava, the Beggar with Dogs, because: This deity represents those who have been disfranchised from society. As an educator, I advocate & work with students with disabilities. Many of these students are considered on the fringe of society, & predominately come from poverty. I have also been blessed with the companionship of dogs whose example of unconditional love continue to inspire me.
- You must try this healthy snack: Spinach…raw, steamed, sautéed, even fried!
- My favorite Sanskrit word or phrase is Jai because: It means victory, specifically victory to one’s Higher self.

- I’m most grateful for: Those individuals in the past & present who have taught me something about myself.

- If I could practice yoga with anyone it would be Mom because: I miss her.
- I’m motivated to take my yoga to the next level because: I am learning that as I embrace the deeper aspects of yoga (not just asana) that life, though chaotic at times, can be more centered.
- My heroes are: Those everyday people who help others.
- My super power is: holding space for others while they engage in self exploration.
- My one wish for the world is: That everyone takes the time to get to know themselves.
