I have spent most of my life practicing the anatomy of movement from my years as a competitive rhythmic gymnast and coach followed by many more years in dance. Then came Yoga...I started practicing Hatha Yoga in 1996 with Tyson Bartel in Kamloops. While living in Vancouver, I was introduced to a wonderful yoga community and was able to practice under several teachers at studios such as City Yoga, Prana, Delta Yoga etc.  Prior to moving to Kamloops, I spent a blissful couple years practicing with Eion Finn, blissologist and yoga teacher.  Finally, I completed my Yoga Teacher Certification with Maureen Frewer at Delta Yoga in the spring of 2003 and have been teaching ever since!

In efforts to continue my yoga learnings and share more with you, I completed teacher vinyasa flow training with Shiva Rea, a worldwide teacher of the Krishnamacharya lineage of flow yoga. Most recently I have achieved the International Yoga Teacher certification and the RYT 500 SOYA Teacher Training program and am currently registered as a RYT500 through Yoga BC and Yoga Alliance, a recognized and registered yoga teacher association throughout North America. In addition, I am a member of the South Okanagan Yoga Association Faculty.
