I got hooked on yoga when I went to my first hot class in 2004. In 2006, I became certified to teach by Bikram in Los Angeles, then went on to teach full-time for many years, mostly throughout southern California and the great state of Texas. After taking a break from the practice to work through some injuries and do some growing, I now strive to approach both teaching and practicing from a place of patience, encouragement, and consciousness embodiment. I am also a practitioner of the healing modalities Bioenergetic Synchronization Technique (BEST) and The Emergence Process (TEP), and certified as a 200RYT through Dr. Sue Morter’s BodyAwake School of Yoga. BodyAwake Yoga is a practice which anchors consciousness in the core of the body and can enhance and deepen all yoga modalities.
