My yoga journey began in the small town of Winslow, AZ when, as a young teenager, I stumbled into a small, free class lead by a lovely woman named Ann Schmidt. With the policy, I shouldn’t have been allowed to stay as an unaccompanied minor, but she opened her doors and welcomed me back again and again. This is how the seed of Yoga sprouted in me. My inner light knew this was my Dharma, though my logical mind didn’t catch up for several more years. I became enlightened to my path the more I practiced and eventually joined Katey Inman and Star Amoureux for 200 YTT in 2022. Best decision. Ever. I have since taken some time to deepen my practice receiving certifications in Restorative Yoga from Mary Bruce and Deep Stretch Yoga from Christa Koos, both through Anchorage Yoga. I am now working towards my RYS 300 in Ayurvedic Yoga and an Ayurvedic Wellness Advisor certification through the Sarasvati Institute of Ayurveda with Susan Bass. On the healing journey myself, I am passionate about finding balance in self-empowerment and softening towards the self and into community. I hope to encourage others to find balance within themselves as I continue my forever practice.
