From my first yoga class with Kim in 2000 I thought, Wow! This is fun. I want to know more about this. After several months I told Kim, "I haven’t felt this good in fifteen years! I knew I had found a path that would support and sustain me. As my practice grew I studied with Kim and began teaching at Yoga Chandra part time. Having worked for many years with young children as a Reading Specialist as well as providing teacher training, the teaching aspect of Yoga seemed right for me. In 2007, I completed my 200 hour certification through The Lotus Room in Tampa Florida and became a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance.

During my training I worked with Karin Stephan, a master BKS Iyengar Teacher and Val Spies who has deep roots in the Kripalu tradition. This training provided me with a strong and varied background.

My teaching is grounded in the principles of alignment and breath work which provide a safe, strong foundation on which to build. The tone of my classes is joyful and non-competitive showing respect for the uniqueness of each individual. My goal is to provide a supportive environment in which to share the joy and benefits of yoga.
