Additionally I do a fair amount of philanthropy through Yoga for organizations such as Yoga Reaches Out (YRO), MGH Veterans Homebase Program as well as local organizations and individuals. I have also taught specialized classes for cancer patients and clients in recovery. I received my college degree from Stonehill College. My career has always brought me to service positions. I have been in the health care field for over 15 years and have always had a genuine interest in helping others, especially helping others feel good. I have personally practiced yoga for over 25 years and found how beneficial it has been in helping me through life. I truly believe that yoga helps you live real life better off the mat, mentally, physically and spiritually. There are moments in our lives where we search within to see if we are really where we are supposed to be. It was during one of these moments that I decided to take the Yoga Teacher Training Program. I completed Sacred Seeds Yoga Teacher Training in 2016 under the direction of the well-known and highly respected Jacqui Bonwell. Not only did this training program touch upon the basic yoga teachings, but also on the strong energy healing components. My passion for yoga did not end there. I continue to study different styles of yoga, attend workshops and am deeply inspired by my fellow yoga teachers; Jacqui Bonwell, Natasha Rizopoulis, Johnny Gillespie, Sagel Urlacher, Elyse Bergamini, Erin Madore and Meg Durkin. I recently made the decision to change career paths and to do what I truly love; that is to share my knowledge and experience of yoga to others so they too can experience yoga’s vast range of benefits. My philosophy is “Yoga for YOU.” I believe anyone can do yoga. I customize my class for my audience. My typical class is theme oriented and ends with a hand-out quote. Yoga is an individual practice and I encourage my students to get out of it whatever it is that they need that day and time. Alignment, breath, mindfulness and safety are always the principles I bring with me to each class. The styles of yoga I teach are vinyasa flow (all levels), hatha, restorative, SPA and yin. I am very excited about my newest venture of teaching children. I recently started teaching my granddaughter and her response to it has encouraged me to take the training to teach children. I am currently teaching at or have taught at Fuller Village in Milton, MA, Etoile Dance and Yoga Studio in Pembroke, MA , A Healthy Balance in Hanover, MA, UnPlug and Be Mindful in Marshfield, MA, USA Health and Fitness in Pembroke, MA, Allure Med Spa and Salon in Quincy, MA, ST. Agatha's School, Milton, MA, Canton Pilates and Gyrotonic in Canton, MA, and Heart and Soul Holistic Healing Center in Easton, MA. I substitute teach classes at Shelia Donovan’s Pilates Studio in Canton, MA and at Milton Hill Sport and Spa in Milton, MA. I also continue to teach private and semi-private classes.
