After twelve years of ballet training, teaching aerobics, and running, I was drawn to yoga as a form of exercise that strengthens body, mind and spirit. I became a certified Bikram yoga instructor in June 2000 with no intention of ever teaching a class, let alone owning a yoga studio, but as my practice deepened, I found myself compelled to share the gifts of yoga.

In the fall of 2002, my practice took a new turn when I discovered the dynamic Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga series. Since training with Baron Baptiste, Power Vinyasa has been my primary practice. I love the effectiveness of the series' structure as well as the freedom for creativity. I continue to be humbled and inspired by the gifts and challenges of my practice and teaching.

As the mom of two teenagers, I am grateful for the opportunity to balance meaningful work as a studio owner and teacher with my family life.
