After a decade of utilizing yoga for my own emotional balance, I received my 500-hour yoga certification from D’ana Baptiste in 2009. Other yoga teachers with whom I’ve studied include Cameron Shayne (Budokon®), David Emerson (Trauma-Informed Yoga) and the women from Off the Mat, Into the World, an organization that blends yoga and social justice. I’m grateful to the practice of yoga for facilitating my own healing process, leading me to arrive at a place where I can go beyond myself to using yoga for building community and transforming us on a more systemic level.
Utilizing my experience as a psychologist, yoga teacher and lifelong athlete I createdYogaPsych®, a mind-body therapy style for clients to “get out of the head” and use their body and breath as a resource. In my classes I love teaching students how the yoga mat can be a fun, safe and transformative place to look inward. I lead workshops on topics ranging from “Yoga for Emotional Eating” to "Yoga for Enhanced Sensuality" at yoga studios and wellness center’s throughout the Twin Cities. My ultimate message for my students is to tap into their inner-guru, that part of them embodying wisdom, vitality, and innate goodness. When not spreading that message you can find me on a mountain trail or sunny beach, or at least dreaming of them!
