I graduated from Edmund Morgan Neuromuscular and Massage Therapy in November 2005. I recently received my 200hr yoga teacher training, and I am also a certified PiYo and Barre instructor. I am honored to be a part of this yoga studio as a teacher and massage therapist.
I started practicing yoga in 2005, and fell in love! Even though my balance was horrible and I could barely touch my toes, I kept coming back each week. I was NEVER an “athletic” person, but wanted to stay active. Yoga is very forgiving and always welcomes you back with open arms. I completed my 200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training in 2014 and also became certified as a Barre Instructor. I love being around people and sharing all the wonderful benefits that yoga can bring into a person’s life. I live in Mooresville with my husband Doug and our fur baby. Blessings & Peace Out 😉
I became a yoga devotee after a diagnosis of cancer. Yoga lessened the anxiety I was going through at the time. After a good outcome, I decided to pursue a teacher training course to deepen my practice. During this course, I was introduced to yin yoga and knew that this was what I wanted to teach.
I have my 200 E-RYT degree together with Yin Yoga, Level 1 and 2
I love how yoga is such a wonderful expression of mind, body and breath movement. Growing up with music and dance my whole life, I was so excited to discover yoga after college as another expression of movement.
The best decision was to enroll and graduate the 200-hour yoga teacher training with the Om Factory in May 2019.
Grew up in Orlando, Florida. Graduated from UCF in 1995.
Married my high school sweetheart in 1996 and we have 3 lovely children. Love to spend time with my family and friends off my mat.
I’ve always known the importance of exercise, but it wasn’t until I was at a mental health conference in 2011 that I experienced yoga. I work with people on their mindsets, many of which are rigid, stuck, painful, etc and realize these same things happen in our bodies and that combining therapy and yoga it leads to so much happiness, ease and balance that we all so desperately need and this lead me to get my RYT 200 in 2019. I enjoy teaching a vigorous practice as well as deep stretch. I look forward to sharing my love of yoga with others.
After attending my first yoga class in 2008, I had a deep feeling that yoga would become an integral part of my life. Quickly, I became hooked on how yoga made me feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. Early on, in my yogic journey, I knew that I wanted to share these ancient knowings with others. Having been an elementary education teacher, I already had a passion for teaching. In April 2010, I received my 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certification at Joyful Yoga, in Bonita Springs, Florida. In September 2014 my husband's job brought us to Mooresville. My mission is to spread love and peace.
In 2011 I completed my 1st half marathon, my 1st half ironman, and recognized the importance of a good yoga practice. In 2018 I became a certified Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master. I am passionate about psychology and our mind body connection. I have love helping others with trauma, high stress, over stimulated nervous systems, and overall well being. I enjoy spending time with my partner Angelo and our little dog, Bruiser!
I have been teaching Yoga in the Lake Norman area for the last 15 years. I received my RYT200 from the Bodhi School of Yoga, here in Charlotte for the training but based in New York. I also have my 500 hours.
I have my 200RYT and am currently pursuing my 500 hour certification. I have been practicing yoga for most of my life, but have only been exploring the emotional aspects of a consistent yoga practice. I have extensive experience in cheer and gymnastics so I am very comfortable understanding the bio mechanics of the body. The gift yoga brings to your mind, body and soul is something I love sharing with my students. Sending Love & Light
My passion as a teacher and student of yoga is to share my journey with others in hope to share how yoga has changed my life. My ambition is to inspire students to reach their utmost potential on the mat, but more importantly, to take what they learn in the studio and on their yoga journey, and use that in their daily lives once the mat is rolled up. My journey started at Your Karma many years ago, and I'm so thankful to be a part of this amazing team. When I am not practicing yoga, I love to be outdoors exploring nature including running, walking, hiking and swimming. I love traveling and have two amazing boys.
