YOGA - WEST OF THE NARROWS

I grew up and still live in the Pacific Northwest. My interest in Yoga began as a teenager and quickly turned into a passion as a young adult. Starting out in the adult world as a banker, a wonderful friend and coworker listened to my endless enthusiam about Yoga and at last posed the question, "Why don't you teach Yoga?"

That was my Ah-ha! moment. Feeling compelled to share the joy of Yoga with others, I completed a teaching training certification with Aura Wellness Center in 2011. I kept my passion alive with a regular Yoga asana practice, reading journalism & studying philosophy, all the while continuing in banking for a 9 year run, getting married, and building a family of 2 lovely, little boys. No longer a banker, I am now a Domestic Goddess (aka Homemaker) and part-time Yoga Instructor.

In 2016, on a mission to spread the gift of Yoga; to inform and to inspire, I launched this website.

You'll find me teaching a Vinyasa style class that ranges anywhere from a Hatha-based to a Power Flow sequence, depending on the desired practice medium. My goal is to share the benefits regular Yoga/Asana practice has to offer, while weaving in teachings from the ancient Yoga Sutras and honoring each individual's path. The environment I strive to create is a non-judgemental and a light-hearted atmosphere. I believe Yoga can be both a practice of discipline and improvement, as well as a nurturing oasis to cultivate self-love and gratitude.

The motto that most resonates with me is, "It's not Yoga Perfect, it's Yoga Practice."
