I'm a distance runner who has practiced yoga for over 25 years. Ten years ago, I got an overuse injury, and my relationship with yoga completely changed. I started taking restorative yoga classes (which I had once avoided, thinking they were not for me) that taught me how to slow down, back off, and be kind to myself.
In January 2020, I received my 200-hour certification through Yogis in Service (YIS) with a focus on trauma-informed instruction. I base my instruction on the YIS 12 Principles for Growth to empower my students to recognize what they need so they can get the most out of themselves.
