Yoga was planted deep within my heart as a college freshman in 1998, from this sprouted illumination of my body, heart, and lively spirit.  Having a fascination for the human body and its complex nature, I attended the CT Center for Massage Therapy in 2005 where I studied the many layers of the human body on a holistic level, learning an eclectic blend of healing modalities including anatomy, kinesiology, acupressure, Chinese meridian theory, Reiki, and meditation.  My practice and passion of yoga grew wings and flew me to Costa Rica in January of 2007 where I completed my first 200 hr. yoga certification in Interdisciplinary Yoga with Don and Amba Stapleton.  In 2008 I completed my first Yin Yoga teacher training with Sarah Powers and have since been continuing my studies with her each year in order to receive my 720 hr. yoga certificate through the Insight Yoga Institute.  My teaching practice is fueled by a genuine passion for life, learning, possibility, and adventure.  My lust for adventure led me to the YogaSlackers teacher training in May of 2011 where I learned the art of teaching slack-asana (yoga on a slackline.)  As a devout Yogaslacker, I've grown to love longlining, highlining, and acroyoga  I aspire to share my playful spirit with all that I encounter in life.  As a devoted humanitarian with over 1,000 hours of teacher training, I hope to help facilitate authentic healing and positive change within the world in a playful way, one deep breath, smile, and giggle at a time*
