Rise and Be Well

Raised by an energy worker who also practiced massage therapy and yoga, my journey to yoga began years before I practiced asana. When a middle-school teacher decided to lead our class through a yoga flow during a rainy day indoor P.E class, I found myself in triangle pose and in love. For many years my sporadic yoga practice found me during the hardest of times, and it felt like the universe telling me that I was going to be okay. Several years ago I committed myself to a 30 day yoga journey, and I was transformed. I realized that I wanted to learn how to guide others towards that feeling as well. I completed my 200-hour YTT, and found myself passionate about Yin yoga, breathwork, and the wonder that comes from matching breath to movement.
