My introduction to Yoga was from a book I found at a thrift store in upstate NY in 1995. I began my practice of breathing exercises and yoga poses at home and it wasn’t long before I realized that I was becoming more centered, open-minded and felt revitalized. I continued to study Yoga in college with Retha Cazel and meditation with Elaine Corwin, both of Corning, NY.

I feel that for whatever reason people begin a Yoga practice, they discover that the benefits go well beyond enhancing their physical health and mental acuity to promoting emotional balance and spiritual awareness as well. My practice today is very spiritual and grounding, allowing me to fully express my love of life and others.

I have earned my teaching certification in Hatha Yoga, with Iyengar alignment at Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja, Mexico and I am a Yoga Alliance registered teacher. During that time, I studied with Allison Eaton and Craig Perkins, who have many years of Yoga experiences including being students of Shiva Rae, Peter Sterios and having years of studies in India as well.  My greatest love is helping others become in tune with themselves through their bodies to discover their divine inner peace, or “divine shanti.”
