R.Y.T.
500hr Certification
Certified: Sunstone Yoga

Following the recommendation and encouragement of my best friend, I began formally practicing yoga at Sunstone in January of 2004. I quickly enrolled in the Sunstone teacher training program and have been teaching yoga at Sunstone since August of 2004. I have attended workshops on hot yoga, vinyasa yoga, yin yoga, Scaravelli yoga, yoga philosophy, and meditation.  I have also been studying and teaching metaphysics since July, 2007.

Prior to teaching yoga I spent two and a half years teaching youth and adults how to manage and conserve wildlife and wildlife habitat. I also spent several years managing a database administration “troubleshooting” group in the wireless telecom industry and working in yoga studio operations. This varied academic and corporate experience has allowed me insight into working with many different types of people.

A long time lover and student of nature, I find practicing yoga has helped me deepen my connection with nature, re-energize my appreciation for the natural world, and better understand my relationships with others. I enjoy the calmness and grounding energy I experience through practicing yoga and spending time in nature, and draw upon this energy in my teaching.
