I discovered yoga during high school at a Baptiste studio in D.C., and I was immediately drawn to the rigorous nature of the practice and strong sense of community. As a teenager struggling to find her way, I knew I had found my tribe amongst yogis. My journey of self-discovery continued as I traveled to Bali and Thailand to expand my understanding of the history and philosophy of yoga. Inspired and confident that yoga would be my way of life, I soon sought another opportunity to grow. At 18 and as the youngest of nearly 200 trainees from all over the world, I travelled to the Catskill Mountains in NY for an intensive week of Level 1 Baptiste yoga training. Within this powerful community, I cultivated friendships for a lifetime and developed a constant thirst for deepening my physical, educational, and spiritual yoga practice.
In 2014, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Sid Yoga in Towson, MD, Baptiste Art of Assisting in Lancaster, PA, and Baptiste Level 2 in Sedona, AZ. These trainings offered me an unprecedented opportunity for self-exploration and growth, and I was inspired to stand in my presence and power. As a teacher, I bring community, compassion, fun, and power into every class. I empower my students to let go of fear, and to act from a place of self-love and unconditional compassion for others.
I grew up in the D.C. area and studied Justice and Peace at Georgetown University. I served the greater D.C. community as a volunteer and intern for many non-profits and taught yoga to underserved children through the organization, YoKid. In 2016, I moved to Salt Lake City to pursue a job in the non-profit community and have been committed to serving Utah ever since. After falling in love with the mountains, I moved up to Park City in 2019. I am fortunate to have found PC Yoga Collective during a rather isolating time of the pandemic, and I am excited to expand my tribe and share what I love with this inspiring and welcoming community!
In addition to living and breathing yoga, I love to travel with my fiancé and pup, hike and ski in the mountains, cook delicious vegan dishes, listen to live music, and dance!
I can't wait to see you on your mat!
