My love for yoga began five years ago when I walked into Yolanda’s studio. Yoga connected my body’s movement with peace and stillness in my mind and spirit. I knew right away I wanted to teach, and spent the next year and a half practicing as often as I could, while also being a mom to two young daughters. I am now a RYT 200 and completed a master’s program in 2018, bringing my training to 500 hours. I’ve deepened my study of yoga’s history, its styles, yoga for grief, trauma, and mental illness, and the physiology of breath and movement. Under Yolanda’s guidance, I’ve learned to heal and restore. It’s an honor to teach in this space, offering students the same opportunity to connect, move, and heal.
