The first yoga class I ever attended, I was reluctantly brought to by a friend who claimed I wouldn’t regret the experience. With a history of professional dance, I was comfortable within my own skin but had never thought of trying yoga. However, after this primary introduction, I felt sufficiently challenged and ready to deepen and continue my practice. Through this continuation, I began to discover an inner awareness and experience the connection of community. I was inspired to share the growth I experienced from the practice of yoga with others.
Since my first yoga class, I haven’t been able to get enough! I began teacher trainings with Sharon Moon’s Ashtanga Yoga courses. I supplemented this program with classes at the Africa Yoga Project Shine Center. Ultimately, these led to my participation in a Baptiste Yoga Teacher Training, through which I am now certified as an instructor.
Currently, I teach private classes and ones in various yoga studios, free outreach classes in my community, as well as classes for children with special needs. I spread the joy of practicing to these communities and am always looking to bring yoga to others as well.
I strive to share the practice of yoga so that I can help others be healthy, fit, and find love and peace within themselves. I hope that yoga can change my community and the world as a whole for the better.
