I began practicing yoga in 2002 as a healthy alternative to prescription drugs for pain management stemming from a car accident. After three years of practicing with many respected yoga instructors and attending several clinics, I became certified with Deedra Daniels in partnership with SCW and Lawrence Biscontini. Yoga has not only given me a healthy way to manage chronic back and neck pain but has also aided me in body acceptance and helped me to maintain a healthy body-weight (I have lost 50 pounds and kept it off for over 10 years).
I teach various styles of yoga and several specialty courses including Belly Dance, Power Ballet, and Pi/Yo (pilates-yoga fusion). I obtained my NASM personal training certification, and I am using it to compliment my knowledge in the field of yoga. I combine this knowledge to develope programs that address postural dysfunctions and pain management. I embrace my past injury as an opportunity to understand and help others with pain management and body acceptance. I am currently enrolled in a 200hr-RYT program with YogaFit.
