My Story

My mom took me to my first yoga class when I was 13 and in pain from a chronically-bruised tailbone (figure skating is not for the faint of heart). The relief I got from that class will never leave me.

In high school and college, I would tag along to Ashtanga with my aunt. I left sweating and shaking from the exertion, but in a state of peace from the meditative repetition I couldn’t find anywhere else.

The women in my life opened a door for me to trust my body and mind in an ever-evolving yoga practice. In 2021, I took the next step by completing a 200 hour yoga teacher training at the Ashland Yoga Center. I continued my education in 2023 with a 100 hour prenatal and postpartum yoga and movement training in Portland with Next Wave Birth.

I am called to help people feel better in their bodies. If just one person walks out of class with a lighter step, I am happy. Teaching pregnant and postpartum people is the greatest honor; to be a small part of your parenthood journey by encouraging healthy movement and creating space for community is my ultimate goal.
