Thanks for being interested in yoga, which is an amazing way to transform your mind, body, and spirit! One of the amazing things about private yoga instruction is the personalized attention given to your goals and needs. I also enhance the practice with touch and manipulation, lending you strength, providing resistance, adjusting alignment, or taking you deeper into the pose. This attention will take you further in your yoga practice faster. My philosophy is that you're already a perfect being at your core - we might have to do a little sweeping, digging, cleaning off to reveal it - but you are amazing and will do amazing things.
My objective as a teacher is to share my love and knowledge of yoga and life with my students. In return, I ask only that you share your brighter-you with ohers: in every thought, word, action, and non-action. We then make the world a better place.I began my yoga practice in the heated room and heated instruction of a Bikram Yoga studio. After several years of intense practice, I grew frustrated by the inaccessibility of such an expensive studio. I started training, was certified in group fitness by AFFA standards, and taught yoga and kick-boxing at the University of Kansas. In 2006, I began my own independent yoga practice at Bird Physical Therapy. My practice and teaching grew as I studied yoga in Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, New York, California, Pennsylvania, and Texas. I focused on other styles like Iyengar, Vinyasa, Hatha, Kundalini, and Ashtanga. I have taken influence from each of these experiences. In the end, I have found the flexibility to personalize each class to match the energy of the students present... So that we may improve together in some way, each and every time. Now I am happy to be in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
I am certified in Vinyasa Power Yoga through Evolution Power Yoga.
