I'm a Certified Yoga Instructor (RYT-500) who has been practicing and studying the ancient healing art of Yoga for the past 20 years. In 2003 I achieved my certification from Sandra Sammartino, a gifted Yoga master from BC.   Sandra continues to inspire me to teach Yoga from the heart, to share what I am passionate about and what has helped me the most.  I also have certifications in Prenatal Yoga and Kids Yoga.   I have completed Trauma-Informed Yoga training, where the goal is to share Yoga with those who would not otherwise have access to it.  My recent studies include Energy Healing (Reiki II certification), Ayurveda and Astrology. 

​

I believe that Yoga is for everyone!  The style of Yoga that I teach is gentle to the body, with emphasis on the breath and overall awareness.   Connecting to the present moment, the body relaxes, the mind becomes calm, and prana (energy) is activated to allow deep healing for the whole body.  My desire is to share Yoga with all ages, abilities, and walks of life, and I currently offer classes from birth to beyond.
