In 2012 she experienced her first yoga class and since then she knew she found her dharma, or purpose. Along with other therapeutic alternatives, yoga really helped and continues to help heal the trauma and hardships that are sometimes inevitable in life, as well providing harmony and an overall sense of well-being. In 2017 she travelled abroad to Thailand receiving her 200 hour Classical Yoga teacher training certification. in 2019 she received her 85 hour prenatal certification in Colorado.

Yin yoga/Deep Stretch
Meditative & passive approach to postures being held for a longer period of time on the ground. Stretches & targets both the deep connective tissues between the muscles, joints, ligaments & the fascia throughout the body. Focus is mostly on the lower half of the body such as the low back, hips, pelvis and thighs. Regulates the body’s flow of (Qi, feminine) energy
Restorative Yoga
Use of props such as bolsters, blankets, blocks and yoga straps to assist in holding poses for a longer period of time on the ground with extra support. Gentle, meditative & slow movement to soothe & restore the mind, body & soul
