I am a yoga teacher leading public and private classes, both virtually and locally here in Charleston, SC. I am the Director of Yoga for a local nonprofit that provides surf therapy, wellness, and yoga to Veterans (Warrior Surf). I also lead mindfulness courses at a local middle and high school and lead the yoga program at a local fitness studio.
By focusing on the fundamentals, the breath, alignment, and what feels good in the body, I believe that it is my true purpose to bring people into their yoga practice.
I am also a 95% extroverted Gemini, love all kinds of music, I am almost always covered in sand (or potting soil) on my days off, and I am always collaborating with my teams and my other half in some way to support the local community!

Beginners fundamentals As humans, we want to learn it, apply it, advance in it, master it, and move on. Yoga doesn't work like that - we learn a lot over a long period of time. When we mindfully tune in to the foundational aspects of yoga: the breath, foundation (hands, core, feet), drishti (gaze), heat, and flow, everything shifts. Whether we're stepping onto our mats for the first time, or for the three hundred and first time, there is always something to learn. Yoga is for every body and every mind can benefit from this practice. Middle & High Schoolers imagination, Self-exploration, Self-love Everything changes at this age - our interests, our peers, our bodies, what we want to do, what we think we should do... What better age to learn how to show up for one's Self and one another? What better age to learn how to breathe through the tough stuff and stay true to who we are? Looking back on my formative years, I would have given anything to have had a yoga teacher guide me through. And so, here I am - bringing yoga and mindfulness to little people, one big breath at a time. Veterans break though, solace, healing Over the course of my life, I've had loved ones who were active duty Military and/or a Veteran. These life experiences not only made me who I am today, they brought me onto my yoga mat and into this work. It is a true honor to be of service and to bring the men and women who've served our country deeper into this practice. Currently, I am the Director of Yoga with Warrior Surf Foundation.

"Yoga has taught me that it is possible to will myself into a sense of peace and mental calmness. It has taught me to slow my life down and how to better deal with adversity by being a more patient and thoughtful individual.
It has taught me how to be comfortable in my own skin... I only wish I would have found yoga earlier in my life."
