Yoga teaches us to explore our potential and embrace the truth of who we are, if we allow it. What started off as strictly an Asana practice for me, has transitioned into a deeply spiritual journey. I continue to address my own physical challenges of aging and emotional challenges of trauma, through embracing Yoga for strength, flexibility and mindfulness. Breath work and Yoga philosophy have transformed my practice, guiding me into self-discovery, acceptance and growth. I completed my RYT 200, June 2022 with Prasada Yoga Teacher Training and Prasada Yoga in North Hampton, NH, under Michelle Plante E-RYT 500. Under Michelle’s exceptional guidance, with her clear emphasis on providing space for self-exploration, I have decided to share my journey, through teaching. I continue to train for my own self-exploration and personal growth in my practice and will remain a committed student of Yoga. I completed the J. Brown continuing education training, Gentle is the New Advanced, a deeply breath-centered therapeutic yoga practice, inspired by the TKV Desikachar tradition, geared towards feeling well, the lessening of pain, and based in healing. I guide yoga flow, Gentle Strength and Hatha classes, focusing on breath movement connection and presence in the moment. My goal is to make class challenging, but accessible to all levels, bringing a greater awareness to the breath, body and mind. I care deeply about the practice and those willing to practice with me. I hope to guide others toward a life of presence and connection, providing tools that inspire a sense of inner peace and resilience in the face of challenge. In 2025 I have entered the role of studio owner of Yoga from the Heart in Laconia, New Hampshire. I will continue to hold space for all that want to share their Yoga practice with us.
