About Me

I embarked on my yoga teaching journey in 2012. I began teaching Baby Toddler Yoga in Lynchburg, Virginia to strengthen the parent-child bond. That passion lead me to teach Kids Yoga where I integrate yoga with science. I started teaching adults yoga in 2016 in Tallahassee, Florida, and yoga took ahold of my life. 

​

I received my Mommy Me Yoga training in 2015 from YoMama with Katie Wise, my 200 hr yoga certification in 2018 from Many Rivers Yoga, and my Kids Yoga and Prenatal Yoga training in 2019 with Lauren Prindiville of Island Ayurveda & Yoga. I have a masters in Curriculum and Instruction, major in Biology, minor in Environmental Studies, and certifications in K-6th, Biology, and Earth & Space Sciences. My educational background and love of the environment inspires my theme-based yoga classes so that no single class is ever the same. 

 

I've taught in-person yoga at Full Distance Physical Therapy & Wellness in Smith Mountain Lake Virginia, at local churches, Governors Charter Academy, Namaste Yoga, Tallahassee Parks & Recreation, FSU's Enclaves at College Town, FAMU's STEM camps, Camp Kum-Ba-Yah, and Mommy Me Yoga of Lynchburg. I teach online yoga on Burnalong and with FSU's OLLI.

My adult yoga develops an awareness of your inner yoga voice to build confidence, stay safe in poses, and discover creative ways to use props. My Kids and Family Yoga strengthens the family bond while incorporating  science themes and American Sign Language. My Prenatal and Baby Toddler Me Yoga helps moms to connect with little ones while safely strengthening their prenatal and postpartum bodies.

     

Connections Yoga is rooted in the deep belief that yoga is not only about connecting to your body, breath, and mind but also connecting to those around you. Whether you are in south-central Virginia taking in-person classes with me or accessing my on-demand and live online classes with Burnalong, you'll find support and encouragement on your wellness journey with me.
