At first yoga was a love/hate relationship for me but there was no denying the immense benefit yoga was having on me body, soul, and spirit. Through that journey out of obesity and ill health, I was given the gift of a new lease on life and I believe gifts are to be shared and paid forward, so I embarked on an educational path to help others reach their goals. I am a Certified Christian Yoga Teacher, Yahweh Yoga Teacher, E-RYT200, Certified Aqua Yoga Teacher, Personal Fitness Trainer, Certified Wellness Coach and owner of Wholly Transformed LLC. My classes can be lighthearted and fun and yet challenging and deeply restorative all at the same time. Sometimes it’s a quiet, meditative flow and sometimes it’s an interactive energetic adventure! I am passionate about making poses serve you rather than forcing you into a perfect pose. I love teaching others to build their poses from the inside using the Deep Core fascia line and to customize and “own” their poses and their practice. Every person and every body type will find a safe place in my classes and will be encouraged to take it to their personal edge. Yoga truly is Praise in Motion! My yoga style is a blend of several mentors with Sadie Nardini being a large influence. I also incorporate Pilates, core moves and booty work in every class. I tend to incorporate every body part in every class including toes, fingers and eyes! My other loves are biking, hiking, swimming and most things active and outdoors.
