I have been in the fitness industry since 1992, starting out as a group fitness teacher and personal trainer. I have been teaching yoga since 2007. I have a passion for learning. A few years ago I had the honor of travelling to India to Study at Sattva Yoga Academy for part of my advanced Sattva (Himalayan Kundalini) training with Angie Hall Yoga. In addition to yoga, I am a massage therapist and have had a private practice since 2004. I specializes in neuro muscular therapy and deep tissue therapeutic massage, Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, and energy balancing work. My adventures have led me into a passion for meditation as well. I love practicing and teaching meditations inspired by the sacred teachings of India and the new science of quantum physics. I get so much joy out of sharing what I have learned. We are truly inspirational beings and it's a joy to help in a small part towards others journey home.

I am inspired by the students I get to teach in and outside of the yoga room. I get the opportunity to watch people grow cognitively, physically, and spiritually everyday. Right out of high school in 2003, I became a certified personal trainer while stationed in Chicago with the United States Air Force . My job in the military was physical fitness and nutrition, I also received an ISSA certification to work with clients in a gym and studio setting. In 2007, I was introduced to Bikram yoga and 2009 I went to Bikram's 800 hour teacher training. My passion for teaching and helping people find their body’s true potential in healing itself and staying healthy moved me to continue my education in yoga, anatomy, and physiology while studying for my Bachelor’s degree in education through NAU. I am also certified in Power Yoga and HIIT (high intensity interval training). I look forward to helping people on a more intimate, one-on-one level at Santosha!
