From the moment I experienced the tranquility of my first yoga class I knew I wanted to incorporate this into my life and help others find peace and a similar balance. The idea of combining the mind, the body and the spirit led me to become a certified yoga instructor through the Temple of Kriya Yoga.  Several years later, I was honored to be invited by the Temple to return as one of three primary teachers in the 9 month Hatha Yoga Teacher Training program.  It was my opportunity to give back to the new students the wisdom and love that was given to me when I studied there.

Shortly after beginning my teaching, I met the late Yoga Master Roger Eischens who was a long time student of BKS Iyengar, and I had the great honor to study with Roger. His depth of understanding of human bodies was unsurpassed; he taught alignment and resistance relating to the movement of energy in the body; and the most important aspect of his teaching was the “learning process” and what it means to be an effective teacher.

I hope to share my love for the asanas and meditation by guiding others to find their “inner teacher” and experience the energy of life that yoga brings. Self-realization, I think, comes when we let go of what we cannot control and slide into that deep pool of self-awareness and connectedness to what is at any moment in time.
