Experience
I began my journey with yoga while completing my Masters of Social Work program at UW (Go Badgers!). I practiced A LOT of flow for several years before coming to Dragonfly the summer of 2017 to add some variety and spice up my (fitness) life. I tried BarreAmped during my intro month and was immediately hooked. I now practice BarreAmped classes about 3-5 times a week, in addition to the yoga that will always hold a special spot in my heart. I took the plunge and completed BarreAmped training in November 2018 so I can now share my love of barre with all of you!
Favorite Pose
BarreAmped: I can't pick one! High V and Standing Seat in profile - Both with lots of variations and LOTS of combos!
Yoga: Headstand - It makes me feel so graceful and powerful at the same time. Plus, its fun!

Why I Love Dragonfly
Dragonfly has such a warm and welcoming community. Each and every class is a judgment-free zone. Everyone is so encouraging and genuine. I've met some wonderful people at Dragonfly and cannot wait to meet more!
Little Known Fact About Me
I'm a pediatric social worker at the American Family Children's Hospital here in Madison. I mostly cover the pulmonary population and rock the "isolation look" (i.e. Gloves, gown and mask) on the daily.
