A former gymnast and dancer, I felt immediately comfortable taking my first yoga class 12 years ago in California. Yoga offered the physical challenge I was seeking but came with many more benefits than anything I had ever committed to before. Practice brought self- acceptance, contentment and balance into my life. This revelation of self inspired me to share yoga with others and pursue a teaching certificate. After earning a Level 1 certification in Los Angeles and teaching for a year , a move across the country to Baltimore brought a welcome breath of fresh air . I continued to teach yoga through two pregnancies and earned my Level 2 teaching certificate in 2002. My Vinyasa teaching style has been influenced by Doug & David Swenson, Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, Erich Shiffmann , Beryl Bender Birch . I have been teaching yoga for the last ten years and have gained an invaluable amount of knowledge regarding human nature, the human body and our journey toward self-transformation. When IÕm not on the mat, I enjoy spending time with my family and making new friends in Chapel Hill.
