From the Heart

In the Fall of 1994, I took a Quantum Leap to change the direction I walked in my life. This created a Quantum Shift, leading me into my first yoga studio at the age of 28. A New Year’s resolution in January 1995.  

Within 3 months, I was practicing yoga regularly, working for the yoga studio as an administrator, and committing to the upcoming Teacher Training program, though not quite sure how I was going to pay for it. This one decision changed the course of my life. The connection experienced with the teachings, the physical practice, the deep heart opening, sense of community, self-acceptance, abiding calm, meditation, chanting, and holistic lifestyle shift, are only a few examples of the profound changes that occurred within the first year. 

One of the greatest gifts Yoga brought to me was a resourcefulness to move through life’s most difficult and joyful moments. The faith and commitment to the teachings have continued to guide me through loss, marriage, birth, parenting, reinvesting and rebuilding with grace and gratitude. My intention for this training is to simply guide and support your transformation while you move deeper into your own life.
