About Me

Hey, there! I'm a 25 year old Sagittarian yoga teacher living in Northern California, originally from Michigan. I love to hike, protect and appreciate nature, craft, bike, swim, sing, dance, and generally frolic around enjoying life. I have a long background in infant care, baking and managing restaurants. In college, I decided to become a personal trainer to help people connect with movement and the blissful happiness that I feel when exercising- I grew up an athlete playing volleyball and softball most weekends on and off-season, loved P90X and Beach Body videos, as well as running and lifting weights with my family. I started taking yoga classes at my university, mostly because they were free and I was sore from all the weight lifting, HIIT and running.

.

I later found myself living in the redwood-dense and remote little town of Cazadero, CA and eventually as I searched for a new job I stumbled upon Sol Rio Studio and its amazing co-founder Mk. There, I traded classes for cleaning and found myself becoming quite passionate about yoga. I loved learning about the internal practices in addition to the asanas and quickly realized yoga was so much bigger than I ever thought -magical, even- and found myself intrigued, ready to dive in and learn more.

I earned my teaching certificate from Sol Rio, and ever since my love for yoga, now expanded into my career, has continued growing steadily; I learn more every single day. Yoga completely changed my life, it has given me a sense of balance, internal calm (and ways to get back to it when I forget!) and has helped me more than I can articulate through words. I feel such a deep love for this practice, and the people I have the pleasure of practicing with.
