A beginning of life crisis led me to yoga and all the subsequent crises keep me coming back for more. Teaching and practicing yoga for me is all about staying sane and understanding the human condition.  My classes are born out of my life experience and my study of the history, philosophy and science of yoga. In class, I keep it real, I sequence movements and music intentionally and I make the occasional joke too. I live to create a space where people can feel better mentally and physically. 

I’m originally from the Midwest. I moved to the NW seven years ago. I worked with a large yoga company for the last 12 years opening yoga studios and training teachers. Sol yoga is my new yoga home and I am beyond grateful.

Outside of the yoga studio I am a voracious reader and podcast listener. I love to hike, run, and hang out with my dog, Riley.
