As a means of navigating challenging times, I turned to running, finding solace by helping process thoughts and becoming a healthier person, both physically and mentally. Always curious about yoga from a philosophical standpoint, I stepped into my first class. While running set me on a positive, healthy path, yoga provided a deeper level of self-awareness, balance, and inner peace. Building on my yoga journey in August 2023, I began yoga teacher training at YouPower to bring a deeper understanding of myself beyond physical fitness and provide service to others. I love a good class that incorporates philosophy, flow, and challenge, often gravitating toward power yoga, both on the mat and teaching. I also enjoy teaching VinYin, Yin, and 'slow burn'; anything that can give students what they need.
