I began practicing yoga in 1984 and began Teaching in 1998. From 2000 to 2007 I opened and ran Central Coast Yoga. My love for teaching encouraged me to give up ownership of Central Coast Yoga and focus primarily on Teaching Yoga and working privately with clients and students. I completed the 200 hour Yoga Alliance Training through Santa Barbara Yoga Center, where I was influenced mostly by Erich Schiffmann and Sarah Powers. Because I am committed in supporting my students on their journey I am constantly seeking instruction in as many modalities as possible in which will give me more tools to share when asked to do so. I hold certifications in Cranio Sacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute, Reiki levels 1, 2, and 3, and Energetic Facilitation. The past two years I have devoted my studies more in depth to both the Yin Yoga and Therapeutic Yoga teaching modalities. I also have completed extensive course work in Thai Massage, and Esalen Massage.  As each day unfolds and I am blessed to continue this work I am fully committed as an instructor and practitioner in offering up a practice to support one in healing and growing spiritually.
