I have always been an avid mover. In addition to many other activities, I began swimming at five and continued through college. I was never the best swimmer in the pool, but I valued the rigorous physical demands and being on a team.
In 2003 I returned to Buffalo and began my yoga practice in earnest at East Meets West Yoga. I completed my 200hr Teacher Training in 2010 through the Himalayan Institute and began teaching at East Meets West. In 2013, after 10 years of practice, I began to experience the effects of the repetitive movements associated with the styles of yoga I was practicing.
In 2018, I completed my second 200hr Teacher Training through Yoga Detour™ and introduced me to the importance of variety in a movement practice and made me aware of the shortcomings of Vinyasa Yoga and all repetitive activities.
I am thrilled to be able to bring this practice to Buffalo!
