I tried yoga for the first time in the early 2000’s while in college to cope with chronic pain. A natural introvert, I had a home practice for many years before ever stepping into a studio space to practice in community. Eventually I dabbled with participating in group classes and found a home studio in Marietta, GA.
My practice and teaching is both a personal unfolding and a commitment to collective care, equity, and accessibility. Simply put, I believe our paths to liberation are inextricably linked. And I believe that yoga gives us the tools to go inward so we can show up in the world with clarity and compassion.
I teach vinyasa flow, restorative yoga, and meditation and also hold space for conversation and critical inquiry for teachers and students exploring anti-racism and anti-oppression as an essential part of practice. I am a registered yoga teacher (RYT) at the 500hr level, E-RYT 200, YACEP and I hold additional certifications in body positive yoga, trauma-sensitive yoga, and embodied activism.
Aside from my role as yoga teacher, I’m also a research administrator in public health, a homeschooling mom, house plant enthusiast, and avid reader.
