My Journey
I found my yoga practice when I hit a breaking point in my life.
In my mid-twenties I was working in the fast-paced world of political campaigns. I was living my life in my head, which caused me to become disconnected from my body. I was stressed out and burned out, and needed a way back to my own power. After a series of breakdowns and a trip to the emergency room, I began to listen to the calls from my body for more attention, self-love, and self-care.
I used this humbling moment to wake up and start living a more purposeful and vibrant life. I chose to look for the light and to find wisdom in my fall. Rather than pushing forward I started to go within, and yoga provided me with a roadmap for a new way of living.
I committed to my yoga practice, and I saw immediate results with my body, mind and spirit. My time on my mat became my sanctuary for self-care. I started to rebuild strength, sensation, and connection as I re-awakened my body. What I didn’t realize at the time is that my yoga practice would become a vehicle for me to step into my power in all areas of my life.
On my mat, I was able to get out of my head and rediscovered feeling home in my body.
Yoga demands your full presence and puts you deeply in your body. And when you are in your body in the present moment, you can tap into your deep reservoirs of personal power. As I became more present, I began to see that my life is my divine creation and that it is up to me to live a life that I love.
I poured myself into my quest to live a more purposeful and fulfilling life. I took on my healing and partnered with incredible teachers and guides. I've dedicated my life to studying yoga, meditation, nutrition and spirituality. Through my personal journey with food, movement, and holistic living, I have found a spiritual and physical balance that helps me thrive, and created daily practices to increase my energy and expand the healing power that I found on my mat into all areas of my life.
Yoga has taught me how to bring things together; how to unite my body and breath, my mind with my intentions, and my actions with purpose. I’ve learned that it’s not how far I go in a pose, it’s who I am in the pose that matters. My falls have been essential for my growth. We learn through contrast, and have to know our edges to find center. It’s all an opportunity to connect, to love, to celebrate, and to learn, especially when we feel like it’s all falling apart. Every breath is an opportunity to create purpose.
