My Teaching Style

While I do take the practice of yoga seriously, I try not to take myself too seriously. I’m quirky with a touch of humor and a passion for life. In my classes you can expect to learn something while having fun. I enjoy offering students multiple options in their practice so that they can choose to take a pose based on how they feel in their body each day. I like to invite my students to take what they learn on the mat out into their everyday lives. I love answering questions and chatting about all things (especially yoga), so please let me know what is on your mind. Lastly, you can expect lavender towels whenever possible!

Experience

I have a passion for movement and an appreciation for what our bodies can do! I earned my 200-hour certification in 2014 and my 500-hour advanced yoga certification in 2016. In 2025 I became an E-RYT 500 which means I’ve taught 2000+ hours of classes. I love learning and am a lifelong student of Yoga. There is always more to explore and discover. I enjoy teaching all types of students, from the brand-new yogi to the advanced practitioner, athletes, people with injuries, and everyone in between. It is my experience that everyone can benefit from some form of yoga practice--you just need to find a style which fits your needs!

Favorite Pose

Vrksasana or Tree pose. I like the freedom and strength I feel in the pose. I like the quiet and calm it brings to my mind.

Favorite Quote

"The goal is not to be better than the other [person], but your previous self."
– Dalai Lama

Why I Love Dragonfly

I love Dragonfly for the non-judgmental atmosphere and because the staff truly care about its yogis. When someone asks how you are, they actually listen to your answer.

Little Known Fact About Me

After winning at the regional level, I was flown to Texas to compete in the National Collegiate Air Guitar competition. I don’t even play the real guitar, but I placed second!
