ABOUT THE BLOG

After some awkward first impressions and some forgettable years of flirting, yoga stopped freaking me out and we started what I hope is a lifelong friendship. I found a writing and yoga challenge in June 2010 and started this as a creative outlet to add to my practice. I named it after my favorite word.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Appalachia, I made my way to California searching for a place to call home. Feeling restless (and out-of-shape), I found myself in Sacramento on the mat again, years after some awkward first impressions and forgettable instances of flirting with yoga. Yoga woke me up, welcomed me home, and unleashed a creative force and joyful love of life that was dormant in my heart. As I saw my practice spill off my mat into my life, I decided to become a teacher to share the gifts of this amazing practice with others.

My classes are accessible and simple in design, yet challenging. I am inspired by every student who walks through the door. I am here to hold a safe place for you to be yourself and have the time of your life one breath, one moment at a time.
