Presenting on Yoga for Runners

Physically Yoga has done amazing things for my body: endurance, flexibility, and increased strength to name a few. After developing a personal practice, I realized the influence on my mental health and nervous system. My love of Yoga has fed my passion for helping others get to know themselves through movement, breath, and meditation.

I was introduced to yoga in 2001, and my regular practice began in 2008 and blossomed into a whole life change. I began sharing through teaching in 2012 and am continually taking steps towards gaining more tools and knowledge to understand myself better and serve my community. 

Class Description: Gentle movement paired with the breath will lengthen muscles and release tension in the body's tissues from running.
