I have been practicing yoga since 1994 and teaching since 1998. She opened the first dedicated yoga studio in Virginia Beach and has been featured in the Virginian-Pilot and as a heath correspondence on WVEC.  Teaching for almost 30 years, I created the first prenatal yoga program in the Hampton Roads area with board certified OB-GYM Craig Ruetzel. I have received well over 1000 hours of training including 500 hour Advanced yoga Teacher's Training with Rolf Gates,  200 hour Hatha Yoga from Oceanfront Yoga, the Mat, Y12SR with Nikki Myers, Off the Mat, Into the World Leadership Certification with Seane Corn and Hala Khori, Chakra Yoga Teaching Certification from Kripalu Yoga Center and Todd Norian, Trauma Sensitive Yoga Teacher Certification from the Trauma Center and Bessel van der Kolk, Yin Yoga Teacher Certification with Sarah Powers, Restorative Yoga with Judith Lasater and training weekends with Beryl Bender Birch, Rodney Yee, Baron Baptiste, Erich Schiffman, Rama Berch and many other renowned teachers. I believes yoga is an inward practice and should be accessible to everyone of all ages, sizes and abilities. 

Now opening a studio in Richmond, VA in 2025 named  balance. I look forward to folding my own life experience, along with those of our teachers, into our teaching.  I believe we teach our best when we are our authentic selves, allow vulnerability in our classes and meet each student where they are.  I love movement of all kinds and embrace principles of diversity, inclusion and equity in my studio and all our offerings.
