I believe deeply in the transformative power of yoga and mindfulness to not only transform us as individuals but ripple outward to positively impact our communities and beyond. I am thrilled to be bringing the opportunity of a vinyasa teacher training to Bend Beyond!

Yoga found me over 20 years ago when I tentatively wandered into an ashtanga yoga studio in Vermont. After a decade of competitive horseback riding, I'd hoped yoga might help relieve chronic back pain, but little did I know I'd get so much more. Yoga has remained a constant in my life ever since — a pathway to heal and strengthen my body, quiet my mind, cultivate resilience, and transcend limiting beliefs. Yoga has brought me back to myself in moments when life felt genuinely overwhelming. More than anything, yoga has taught me how to show up as the most authentic version of myself, with playfulness, courage, and a deep empathy for others.

For me, teaching isn't just about guiding people through a bunch of yoga postures — it's about holding space so my students can connect with themselves in ways they may never have before. In 2022, I joined the team at Bend Beyond and have loved being a part of such a vibrant, inclusive, and upbeat community of students and teachers! I bring nearly 15 years of consistent teaching experience leading group and private classes, workshops, domestic and international yoga retreats, and 200-hour yoga teacher training programs. I'm also a trained meditation, breathwork, and sound healing facilitator, and I am currently chipping away at my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I'm passionate about weaving these modalities together in creative, accessible, and impactful ways. I remain committed to cultivating safe containers where people can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

I'm excited to bring a Vinyasa Teacher Training to Bend Beyond, where we can walk this path together. Regardless of whether you want to teach yoga professionally, exploring the art of empowered leadership will transform how you show up in all areas of your life. And exploring the depth of yoga beyond the physical practice provides a powerful lighthouse through the inevitable storms of life. At the end of the day, yoga isn't just about what happens on your mat—it's about how it changes who we are when we step off.

I fell in love with yoga in 2007 and knew right away that someday I wanted to share this life-transforming practice with others as a teacher. Two years later I went to my first of many teacher trainings and have been teaching ever since! Outside of my family, practicing and teaching yoga has been the biggest gift in my life. It is a dream come true to now be offering Teacher Trainings here at Bend Beyond!

Over the years, yoga has helped me heal from knee injuries, reduced chronic lower back pain, and aided in my recovery after giving birth to my son. The physical benefits, though, are only a small part of the story. My yoga practice helped me settle a very over-active mind, has improved my self-confidence and body image, and makes me a happier and kinder person every single day. It changed my life by allowing the person I’d always been to shine through. As a teacher, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing how life-transforming yoga and mindfulness can be for SO many people, and I truly believe there is no better “job” out there! We’ve had thousands of students walk through the door at BB and improve their life through yoga. There’s nothing that can compare to that yoga glow you feel after class…except the feeling you have after teaching one! I’ve been fortunate enough to mentor many teachers over the past 10+ years, and guiding them through this next step in both their yoga and personal journey is one of my greatest passions. It is an honor to now be offering our first Bend Beyond Vinyasa Teacher Training and to be able to take those very first steps in this next part of your journey with you!
