I began my yoga journey in 2015 with free yoga classes at my local food co-op. I started slow but steady. My practice had a gradual yet profound impact on my physical, emotional, and spiritual being. After developing a regular self-directed asana practice, I deepened my understanding by completing the teacher training at Devanadi Yoga School in Minneapolis in 2025. Yoga has been a transformative experience in my life, fostering a sense of connection among mind, body, and spirit that continues to grow as I deepen my understanding of the ancient yoga teachings and my own experiences. I have a BA in anthropology and an MS in natural resources science and management, both from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. I work as a nonprofit communications professional working with an organization that advocates for parks and trails in Minnesota. I have visited every state park in Minnesota, a feat I undertook with my son and husband. I believe the connection between people and nature is vital to our wellbeing.
