How I got here
After a Hashimoto's diagnosis in 2015, I committed myself to learning as much as I could about health and wellness so that I would be better equipped to navigate the ups and downs of health, sickness, emotions and life changes. Shortly after, I began yoga teacher training at Wild Lotus Yoga in New Orleans with Sean Johnson and Mitchel Bleier. Heart centered, this unique training blends the soulfulness of Bhakti yoga with yoga asana (postures) and anatomy. Bhakti yoga is a sweet love affair with yourself, the divine, and the world around you. This experience opened my eyes to a new way of being, and I began the inward journey into my own heart. As my heart opened and my perspective shifted, I felt called to share this beautiful practice with as many people as possible!
It’s with great care that I develop and share yoga experiences that are heartfelt, mindful and infused with music, mantras, meditation, poetry, breath awareness and life inspiration. My intention is for my classes to be welcoming and accessible to all levels of practitioners, and the movement is safe and mindfully sequenced. My school teaching background allows me to break things down in a way that is clear and easily digestible for both new and experienced students. I encourage students to tap into their inner wisdom, listen to the whispers of their heart, deeply relax into the practice, and revel in the sacred time they have dedicated for themselves. Asana is the doorway and with the additional mindful modalities that I incorporate, we can journey inwards, deep into our hearts.
I offer weekly yoga classes, beginner yoga workshops, educational workshops and series, meditation classes, and various community collaborations in Beaumont and around Southeast Texas. I love to collaborate with others, so if you have an idea, don’t hesitate to reach out!
