I am a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT).  I am also certified in Mat Pilates and have been teaching group classes since 2002.  Over the years, I have fallen in love with the mind-body connection found in Yoga and Pilates.  I enjoy the physical challenges of each discipline and appreciate how well they work together toward a strong core, a flexible body and a clear mind.  Yoga and Pilates have much to offer beginner, as well as advanced students, providing numerous health benefits to the practitioner.  My desire is to offer a safe, supportive and relaxed environment where students can renew mind, body and spirit through yoga while working toward their personal goals.  I sincerely enjoy making a difference, having seen the positive impact of yoga and Pilates on many lives over the years.  My personal journey with yoga is an ongoing adventure.  I continue my practice as a student and have been fortunate enough to study under master teachers, such as Bryan Kest and Erich Schiffmann.  When I am not doing yoga, you may find me pursuing some of my other interests, including music, photography, cooking or working in my flower garden.
