About Me
It all started in 2008, when I took my first yoga class as a student the University of Minnesota. I’ve been in and out of the studio since, but after a pretty big breakdown with anxiety and depression, I made yoga a daily practice. It’s since become a regular part of my life, helping me that stay grounded and physically active. Realizing the benefits yoga brought me, I knew I had to share it with others.
I began teaching in 2016, and I’m passionate about making yoga more accessible. I also love teaching new students, helping them foster mental and physical self-awareness as I break down poses throughout class.
When I’m not teaching I work in public health, building a healthier Minnesota. In my free time I’m probably traveling and eating good food, enjoying local music and brews, and hanging out with friends by Minneapolis’s lakes. Most likely though, I’m napping.
Always Vibing
I love teaching yoga for many reasons, and music is one of those. Nothing pulls me into a moving meditation like chill, electronic beats. If you’ve come to my classes you know what I’m talking about. They’re a vibe.
Students frequently ask if I share my playlists - and the good news is, I do! Check them out on both Spotify and Apple Music! And if there’s ever a song or artist you’d like me to feature, let me know. I’m always open to exploring new tracks.
