I was looking for a new life when I stumbled into yoga. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I tried the various types of yoga offered at Anchorage Yoga. I loved them all, but I felt a deep desire to “conquer” Hot 26; which ultimately turned into a struggle with myself. I loved that I had found the platform to “show up” for life. Being on my mat taught me to be in the present moment, accept myself as I am, and find a true balance in my life. I decided to deepen my understanding and awareness by taking the Anchorage Yoga Teacher Training in Spring 2017. That experience left me with a genuine gratitude for life, as well as, a strong connection to continue to grow as an individual both on and off the mat. As a teacher I hope to help others meet themselves where they are and practice compassion and acceptance for themselves.
