When and how did you come to yoga?

About 11 years ago, a friend recommended I try bikram to help with my tennis elbow and other aches I was feeling due to the amount of competitive tennis and hard core workouts I endured since I was a teenager. After 6 months of practicing, my body and mind changed in ways I never imagined. I was then motivated to explore other types of yoga such as Baptiste and Power Vinyasa and yoga soon became a part of my life!

Why did you start teaching yoga?

I wanted to know more than just the physical part of the practice. I wanted to understand more about the philosophy and history of yoga.

What is your favorite pose?

Natarajasana (Dancers Pose) since it is a pose that represents balance – both on and off the mat.

Who inspires your teaching?

All of the YBD teachers!! Every day off I plan to take a class and it just amazes me what I learn from each teacher at YBD!

Tips for beginners…

Keep coming! Do not worry about feeling you have to know ‘everything’, yoga is a lifetime journey.

What’s your favorite quote?

“You have to take care of yourself in order to take care of others”

– this resonates so much with me since I balance a full time job in addition to being a mother, wife, and yoga teacher!
