Over the last 10 years, yoga has increasingly become an important part of my life. The principles behind the movement, breathwork, and mindfulness explored in a yoga practice, can have profound effects in all aspects of daily living. 10 years ago, I tried a hot yoga class, and proceeded to go every day for the next 60 days. After implementing a bit of moderation, I expanded my practice to appreciate other variations and styles of yoga, the fascinating and enriching philosophy behind the practice, and how enriching and rewarding it can be beyond just the yoga studio. I completed my 200-hour through Centered City Yoga, and I have also had the opportunity to attend additional trainings that expanded my understanding of breath work and meditation, Yin, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga yoga. Currently, I am working my 300-hour certification. However, I have also come to appreciate that there is no end to learning, and plan on being a life-long student of yoga. As a yoga teacher, it is important to me that students feel safe in developing their own practice and deepening their relationship with their breath and body. Through encouraging them to have compassion for themselves, my hope is to impart a peaceful energy they can take beyond class. I believe everybody’s yoga practice is unique to them, and in meeting each student where they are, in their own mind and body. I also have an MA in Art History and currently teach as an adjunct in local colleges. I believe that art is such valuable way to understand the human condition. I live in Salt Lake City with my husband and three kids, one dog, and one cat, where I enjoy reading, gardening, cooking, trying local restaurants, and going to museums, concerts, and comedy shows with friends and family.
