My Path to Yoga
I took my first yoga class twenty years ago to get exercise and relieve stress. I didn’t practice consistently at first, but about ten years ago, I decided to dedicate time each week to the physical practice of yoga (asana), as well as the ethics and philosophy of this ancient tradition. I learned firsthand the power of this practice, and my life has changed for the better! Yoga has helped me to find confidence, physical strength, and flexibility, as well as emotional resilience, humility, and compassion for myself and others. It has also given me the tools to handle life's inevitable struggles with discernment and flexibility.
My purpose as a Yoga Therapist is to hold space for others in a way that is inclusive, supportive, and compassionate. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner, or this is your first time experiencing Yoga, there is a place for you in this practice and I invite you to come as you are. I am not here to "fix" you, but guide you, through the teachings of Yoga, so that you gradually learn to trust your inner knowing and connect with your true Self. Together, we will explore YOUR path to yoga and healing, and I am so excited to join you on your journey!
