I've completed two Yoga Teacher Trainings at the 200 hour level, the first in 2014 at Barefoot Yoga Studio in Davis, California. Always looking to learn and grow as a yoga student and instructor, I pursued 200 additional hours of training with Nicholas Giacomini (MC YOGI) and Amanda Giacomini (10,000 Buddhas) of Point Reyes Yoga in Point Reyes Station, CA in 2020. Most recently, I became a certificated yin yoga instructor, having completed 80 hours of Classic Yin Yoga Training with Devi Daly of Devi Daly Yoga. I truly love teaching. Prior to becoming a yoga instructor, I was a high school English teacher at Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, AZ. I have a B.A. in English Literature from Georgetown University and a M.A. in English Literature from San Francisco State. One of my teaching mantras is "your body, your yoga" and I remind students to focus on how each pose feels, not how it looks, and to explore variations, adjustments and modifications to suit their unique body and range of motion. I teach in Davis at Barefoot and at a local elementary school. I practice yoga daily, often with my husband, to cultivate balance, flexibility and an open heart ... both on and off the mat. I am a happy mom to three grown and wonderful sons.
