Having dabbled around with a few different kinds of yoga throughout college, I first found power vinyasa yoga at Amazing Yoga in early 2012 while I was looking for a “good workout.” Convinced that it would be a supplement to the other forms of exercise I was doing at the time, I bought a 5 class pass, and took all five classes in that first week. I’ve barely missed a day since!
It wasn’t long before I realized that yoga had changed me not only physically, but in so many other ways too. It has made me a better person than I ever could be without it. On a day to day basis, my yoga practice has helped me to let go of things I can’t change, to live in the moment, and to not sweat the small stuff. The Amazing Yoga community has brought the most amazing people into my life as well, so many of whom I’m now proud to call my friends.
In 2013, I attended the Baptiste Institute’s Level 1 teacher training in upstate New York and began teaching shortly afterwards. I took Level 2 in October 2015 in Sedona also through the Baptiste Institute. My practice and teaching style is inpsired by many different teachers, lineages, and styles of yoga and I am committed to learning and fine-tuning my skills as a yoga instructor and practictioner!
I grew up in a small western PA town and have a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master’s degree from Point Park. I enjoy live music, a good road trip, and an early morning practice before the sun comes up!
