After practicing for 10 years I enrolled in my first yoga teacher training at The White Lotus Foundation with Tracey Rich and Ganga White in Santa Barbara, California. Wanting more after volunteering at my church and a senior living center, I pursued a 500 hr training at Cloud Nine Yoga in Huntington Beach, California with Erika Faith-Calig. In 2012 I trained with Shiva Rea for three years in the Prana Flow system and with Demetri Velisarius in Prana Danda Yoga. In addition to Yoga I apply my background in both biology and Pilates/Dance Conditioning to my teaching. In 2018, I took on a role at California State University, Kinesiology Department as a professor, teaching Beginning Hatha Yoga. While in this role, I have pursued and will soon complete a M.S. in Kinesiology studying the effects of yoga in the college student population.
