I first began practicing yoga while in graduate school as a way to relieve stress, and it has continued to be an important part of my life for almost 20 years. Yoga helps me to feel centered and grounded, no matter what is happening in the world around me. In 2018, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Yoga Lab in State College, PA, as a way to deepen my own practice and understanding of yoga. While I initially had no intention of teaching, I soon discovered that I loved sharing yoga with others, and my Sunday evening class quickly became the highlight of my week.

One of the things I love most about yoga is its versatility. My practice can evolve into whatever I need it to be, depending on the season of life I am in. Some days, that might mean a sweaty power flow; other days, it might be seated breathwork or a walking meditation. I love that yoga meets us where we are.

After 12 years in Pennsylvania, I recently moved back to the Midwest and am excited to be closer to family and to begin teaching at Uplift Guided Fitness. I love teaching classes that cultivate gentle strength through a comfortable pace, breath awareness, core stability, and functional movement. My goal is to create classes that leave students feeling both challenged and grounded.

I can’t wait to meet this community and practice with you!
