Yoga Teacher RYT 500
I first came to yoga, focusing on the physical benefits of the practice to help me stay in shape and cross train for marathon running. As my practice developed, my focus changed to the mental and then I intuitively turned to yoga after facing a life altering tragedy. I decided to dive into a Yoga Teacher Training in 2018 to help with grief and to use yoga as a means of coping. In May of 2018, I obtained my 200 hour certification from Brook Armstrong at City Yoga.My journey continued to involve more studies. I have received a Breathwork Certification. I also received my Mindfulness Certification and my 300 Hour Certification with an emphasis on Somatics from the Dallas Yoga Center in October of 2023. Yoga has completely changed my life for the better. My goal is for you to experience yoga's wonderful gifts too.
