I have been practicing for twenty years now. I first began doing yoga after our first child was born.  It offered a gentle way to exercise and a quiet moment to myself.  Since then I have practiced many different styles of yoga but tend to gravitate towards Ashtanga, Anusara, Yin, Restorative and Vinyasa style yoga. I am now a mother of four children and I regularly practiced yoga throughout my last three pregnancies.  The benefits yoga provided for the labour and recovery were endless.

I have a physical education degree, precision nutrition coach, I am a certified personal trainer and yoga teacher. 

I have always had a love for fitness and learning more about how the body works.  The principles of yoga make sense.  It requires you to move your body in a deliberate and meaningful way, with attention to how your body is positioned and focusing on your breath.  What I love most is that it leaves you feeling calm, strong and refreshed.  Contrary to popular belief yoga is not just about relaxation is about empowerment, physical strength and mental focus. I have had the privilege of learning from some amazing teachers and continue to learn everytime I step onto the mat.
