My yoga journey began over 25 years ago while working in the fitness industry and as a massage therapist. I was familiar with yoga and attended some classes, but I had always felt like it “wasn’t really exercising or beneficial” for me. I believe now that is due to the fact of where my life was at that time. I just wasn’t ready for what yoga had to offer me. 
In 1997 I suffered severe upper body injuries and emotional trauma as well.  I went from being a super fit exercise fanatic to a broken woman.  My therapist suggested I try yoga and I discovered that the light to guide me through my physical & mental healing journey was through my yoga practice. 
A few years later I started perusing my yoga teaching certification, but had to put it on hold as I become a wife and a mother.  
Now, 25 years later I found the support and encouragement to continue my training through Hippie Yoga. 
I completed my 200 hour YTT in May of 2024 and am in the process of completing my Yin certification.  My goal is to keep on learning and sharing that knowledge as part of the Hippie Yoga team!
