My yoga journey began after attending my first yoga class in the fall of 2016. The clarity, peace, and connection to my body after that first class was a feeling I will never forget! After moving all over the state of Minnesota, I finally found a yoga home at Azitala in 2018, where I have been taking classes and growing my practice ever since. As the years have gone by and my practice has deepened, the endless benefits of yoga have grown with me. I have navigated the adventures and challenges of motherhood and life changes over the years, but yoga has always been the grounding force that brings me back to feeling like "me" and has truly changed my life. As a child and young adult, I was very involved in martial arts as both a student and an instructor, and my passion for yoga bloomed similarly and I knew I eventually wanted to teach. After sharing yoga with my family and friends and seeing what an impact a yoga practice had on their lives as well, I attended the teacher training program at Azitala and graduated in March of 2023. I truly believe that yoga can be beneficial for anyone, in any body, and in all walks of life! I look forward to guiding students through their own yoga journeys and am honored to have the opportunity to do so.
