I received my 200hr YTT in 2021, completed and received my Restorative Yoga teaching certification in 2022, and trained to teach chair-yoga in 2023. I received my Trauma-Informed teaching certificate in late 2023, and in early 2024, I became a certified Youth Mental Health First Aid provider. Now, in 2025, I have opened my first yoga studio! Wildflower Studio LLC is located in Wartrace, TN, just outside of Shelbyville, TN, and about 1 hour southeast of Nashville. My teaching path has been guided by my desire to bring to others what was brought to me; I discovered yoga in response to immense grief. I had heard yoga could be calming and, within a class or two, I found myself crying quietly on my mat. Here, I found I was able to deeply experience and confront my sorrow. It was heavy and beautiful. Following that experience, yoga became a place to feel strong again. I continued to practice into my eighth month of pregnancy and then--somehow--took a five year break. When I surfaced again, finding myself 13 years into a career and two kids later, my life was amazing, loving, and supportive but I felt hollow. I began searching for why and it wasn’t long before yoga beckoned. Yoga has filled me with a deep appreciation for my body, my mind, and for those around me. Yoga has filled my life with true vigor for each day and I aim to help more people find, cultivate, or maintain the same. Through strength of body, composure of breath, and room to bring awareness, I hope to guide every student into the ability to more accurately embrace the unique light of their true self. I wish for each participant to take the surety of step they find on the mat out of the room and into the world.
