My first introduction to Yoga was more than 25 years ago. I was struggling with injuries from running and boxing. Someone said try yoga it can help heal your body , I thought yoga is for old people lol. Well after my first couple classes I realized I was so wrong. At the time, I had already had a personal training and group fitness instructor certification, so I decided to pursue yoga teacher training. I attended the Himalayan Institute which was a year long program. After that I became the fitness director at Marengo Park District in Illinois. Upon moving to Homosassa I was saddened to see that there was no local yoga studios. I decided to open one and do my best to provide a warm and uplifting space where people could focus on their health and wellbeing.

After being diagnosed with a chronic disorder, the cardio and step classes caused too much pain and tenderness throughout my body. I started yoga classes and was introduced to Yin Yoga over 15 years ago. Yin saved me and has become a weekly ritual to balance my life. Hatha yoga and low impact workouts helped balance out my weekly routines. As a newly certified instructor, I am excited to share my experiences by focusing on strengthening and stretching the body for an overall awareness. We can always do more than we think, we may just need to modify how we obtain our results.

I have always been a gym rat, starting back in my twenties. I have worked out at home, viewing exercise tapes for years. One day, an instructor needed a sub and I volunteered to step in. I enjoyed this so much that I continued on to earn my Group Fitness Instruction Certificate then earned by Basic Yoga Certificate. I enjoy blending my fitness classes with cardio, strength training, core, stretching and yoga.

It would be an honor to have you join me in my classes to share my experience.

You may have seen me popping in a class every once and a while. I actually live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. We recently bought a place here in Homosassa and come back when we can. I guess I could call us "shore birds" since we spend more time here in the summer. I received my YTT in 2021 and have been teaching for the last three years in Illionois. My style of teaching is more of a gently flow. I like to be able to cater to all levels. I found YRF on one of my visits and now call YRF home. I am excited to learn more about all of you and look forward to sharing my love with you.
