I have always been very athletic. I ride bikes (both road and mountain). I love to hike and backpack. I run, swim, ski... and for a long time I thought that I wanted to try yoga. I did one day, and I have been practicing every since. I took my first Bikram class over four years ago, and my first power class shortly after that.

My practice has given me so much patience and insight into myself. I have learned how to slow down, give up some of my competetiveness, and see the world in a very different light. Through my practice I have learned to be compassionate for myself and more compassionate for others around me.

I have recently completed Level One training with Baron Baptiste. Since that time, I feel like my practice has become so much deeper, not just physically, but in my heart. I look forward to sharing this new light and giving back to the community that has given so much to me over the last four years.
