I am beyond excited to be a part of the Azitala family! I completed the 200hr training in 2024 and will continue to learn under the 300hr training at the beginning of 2025! With this knowledge my hope is to create a space of grounding, mind body connection, and compassion for ourself and others. “We repeat what we don’t repair” became my mantra for years after discovering yoga in 2016. I was stuck in my comfort zone and completely detached from my surroundings. With the practice of yoga, realizations of self pushed my path into transformation and trusting the process in the ebb and flow of life. Yoga has deepened my trust in discovering my true nature and to seek authenticity in my thoughts, words, and actions. I can’t wait to continue to find and unfold all the ways yoga has changed my life physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually!

 

My yoga practice began in 2012 while living in Fargo. At that time I was pretty stressed & very disconnected to myself, I was finally ready to embrace some healthier habits. I decided to check out a class & walked in feeling a bit anxious & worried however after I felt a shift in my energy. I felt empowered, strong, & connected to myself. I made a promise to myself that I would be consistent with this practice. My journey led to me take Azitala's 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2016 to share this beautiful practice with others. I began teaching at Azitala in Nov. 2016. In 2023 I furthered my education by taking Azitala's 300-hour teacher training. As a teacher my aim is to spark self-inquiry, equip you with knowledge & tools that can help you live a more easeful life & motivate you to consistently show up for yourself. One of my favorite quotes is by Thich Nhat Hanh: "It is possible to live 24 hours a day in a state of love. Every movement, every glance, every thought, and every word can be infused with love." I think it's important that we aim to move with more love & that we are gentle & kind with not only ourselves but one another.
