Empath, Clairvoyant, Kind, Compassionate, Free-Spirited, Humorous, Whimsical
I was introduced to Yoga right after moving from my hometown in Los Angeles, California to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina in 2010. I was fascinated and curious by how my first Yoga class had me feeling relaxed and revived. In my Yoga journey, I have grown from struggling with anxiety and depression to the confident, happy, and enthusiastic go-getter I am now. Yoga has inspired me to share this golden practice that helps with mental and physical health, which coincides with all-around wellness and well-being. I believe in the importance of balance, both on the mat and off. These days we have so much on our plate that it’s necessary to find a balance to live a happy and fruitful life.
Speaking of balance! It’s almost impossible to choose just one favorite type of Yoga; I need both a practice that fully relaxes me and a practice that lifts me up till I want to dance for the rest of the day. Hatha Yoga is my favorite for recentering and finding my inner calm, and Vinyasa Yoga has me pumped and ready to conquer the day. I find that whenever I return to my mat, Yoga teaches me something new about myself, Yoga, and the world around me. I am known for providing a safe, welcoming, and understanding environment for every unique individual. I found the same beliefs and practices in PureJoy Yoga studio and knew immediately that their 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training was precisely what I needed to help spread the gifts of Yoga.
