Growing up as a dancer, I loved music and movement. As an adult, I found that love again in yoga class. I also discovered that keeping a consistent practice helped me find balance and perspective. Of course, as an elementary teacher and librarian, I immediately thought, "How can I bring this mindful movement to my students?" I began with breathwork and chair yoga for brain breaks and watched as children visibly relaxed and recentered.

I have a B.S. in Early Childhood Education and a M.Ed. in Library/Media and worked in schools for ten years. In 2014, I became a RYT200, Registered Yoga Teacher, with Yoga Alliance. I have taught yoga classes in schools for Health Jam and after-school enrichment, as well as outside schools for Girl Scout Troops. I've also been invited to teach yoga at teacher workdays for a bit of self-care. When not on my mat, I enjoy reading, organizing, and dancing to pop radio.

My teaching style is passionate and playful. I’m quick with a smile and am kind, approachable, and supportive. The abridged version: I am an effervescent, efficacious lifelong learner!
