I have been an avid yoga practitioner since 2003 having been led to yoga as a means to reduce stress.  I have a Bachelor of Arts in Administrative & Commercial Studies.  I continue to be a student of yoga, currently an E-RYT 200, RYT 500 yoga teacher.  My journey inspired me to incorporate yoga into my daily life.  The lessons of mindfulness and the breath are important not only in my teaching style but in everyday life.  Always a student; expanding my studies to include a fifty hour Yin Certification with Biff Mithoefer, Yoga Wall Certification with Bryan Legere of Ventura Yoga Studio, YogaWorks Prenatal Certification, thirty-five hour Therapeutic Yoga Training Certification at White Lotus Foundation, along with completion of the Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga Teacher Certification.  I bring honesty, individual attention and a sense of humor to my class.  I strive to have everyone leave their mat feeling balanced and good about themselves.  Outside of yoga I enjoy family time with my husband, two children and best friend Harley the Fox Terrier.
