The Poetic Body

I began my yoga practice in 2004 and fell in love with it immediately. What started to regain my physical health and limber body became a passageway to a more peaceful life. Having been a dancer for years, my body was yearning to leave the weight room behind and fulfill its need to flow, twist, bend and turn upside down. The emphasis yoga places on breath left me refreshed, and the calm I found within made me want to share the experience with others. In 2008, I was fortunate enough to receive my Yoga Teacher Training with Shiva Rea at the Samudra School for Living Yoga in Venice Beach, California. Shiva is a world-renowned yogi who developed the Vinyasa Flow style of yoga that many people practice today. My desire to understand the body more thoroughly led me to study with Tiffany Cruikshank and Yoga Medicine for my 500 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training.
