I began my fitness career over years ago in an attempt to gain control over being an overweight teenager I stayed in it because it was fun and I genuinely love people Fitness has been an ever-evolving path for me; I became an aerobics instructor at a small studio when I was obtained my AFAA certification a year later I continued to teach and train as an instructor for many years and in conjunction trained personally with a champion female body builder who engrained in me the importance of alignment in everything not just weight training Then triathlons became my personal challenge especially learning the technique of a smooth run You see fitness for me has always been about achieving my highest personal potential while remaining a student Yoga was a very natural next step for me; it is the epitome of achieving our own personal best at any age on any given day through every life challenge I started with Bikram a beautiful expression for precise alignment then moved into all sorts of yoga including Hot Hatha Ashtanda Yin; finally jumping into my RYT in then Chair/Senior certification in   On the personal side I have an amazing husband am a mom/step-mom to incredible kids and blessed with wonderful grandchildren I ran my own successful legal support business for years currently work as a contracts manager for a software company and am in the process of writing a series of books for middle grade kids With all of that going yoga has been an integral tool for physical mental and emotional balance Im certified in many areas of yoga including hot yoga chair yoga and currently gaining certifications in Yin Somatic and Childrens yoga in hopes to serve as many as possible in the best way possible  Thank you for reading about me< Namaste.
