Yoga taught me how to calm my mind through the power of the breath. Practicing the asanas with proper body alignment gave me strength and flexibility that I had never experienced before in any other movement-based practice. Regular yoga practice became my outlet for not only settling my mind and strengthening my body, but spiritually I felt lighter and more comfortable in my own skin. This body awareness opened the door to being more self-aware which has had a positive impact on how I interact and connect with other people. The more I practice, the more I am able to translate these lessons off the mat, allowing me to be more open-minded and grounded, more receptive and patient, and grateful for the gift of life experience. As a yoga teacher, I will uphold the honor and respect for the excellent teachers I have had in the past as well as the teachings found in ancient yoga texts through the eight limbs. I promise to teach with honesty and integrity and guide my students safely on their own journey. My first teacher told me that if you can breathe, then you can practice yoga. I am compassionate about respecting and meeting my students where they are and in each of my classes I will invite students to use the practice as a way to investigate their body and mind with a main focus on the breath in a light-hearted way. Each time my students step on their mats, I will hold space for their self discovery and self-acceptance so that they can find peace within themselves. As a teacher this is one of the most beautiful reasons why I enjoy sharing this ancient art with my students.  I obtained my RYT200 yoga teacher certification in 2014 from Emme Yoga in Stockbridge, GA where I taught alignment-focused Hatha yoga and flow classes. From 2016-2020, I practiced the Ashtanga yoga method under the direction of Marsha McNeight and Kathy Koher and subsequently completed a second RYT200 yoga teacher certification in the Ashtanga method from Balance Yoga in 2019. From 2016-2022, I taught vinyasa flow and heated flow classes at Southern Lotus yoga in McDonough, GA. My current yoga practice consists of a power flow heated vinyasa, meditation, pranayama, and chanting of the Yoga Sutras. I enjoy teaching students who are new to the practice and I also enjoy teaching students who want to learn vinyasa flow or are curious about vinyasa flow classes. Off the mat, you might find me at a music concert with my husband, camping or hiking, baking sweet vegan treats, or collecting vinyl records. I have a true passion for learning and consider myself a lifelong student. As a teacher by profession, I get super excited to share new things that I have discovered and I am elated and honored to be able to share the gift of yoga with my future students.
