“I grew up cheerleading, tumbling, playing softball, and running track. Vigorous sports have always been my thing so I had to keep an open mind back in 2008 when one of my good friends convinced me to go with her to a beginner yoga series.
Needless to say, I fell in love with the practice. It gave me a chance to improve my strength and flexibility, but it also gave me the same mental workout I received while running.
Over the years I had used my strenuous workouts to combat depression and my body took the toll of injuries from overuse. Yoga gave me the ability to focus on my mental health in a safe way. During the course of practicing for over a decade I often got asked why I wasn’t instructing yoga myself. Working full time, being a wife, and mother to two young children it just never seemed like a convenient time to get my certification. However, during the pandemic I was furloughed from my full time job.
I began searching for a positive outlet that was just for me. When I heard many studios were offering certification online I jumped at the chance. It’s been a wonderful reminder to focus on the positive, and never stop learning or growing.
I love that The Village shares the importance of yoga not only being a physical practice, but a practice for mental health as well. I’m a firm believer that yoga should be fun so be prepared to laugh and use jazz hands in my classes.”
Off the Mat
Most of my time is spent behind a camera (and let’s be honest, a computer screen) photographing weddings, graduates, and families through my photography business, River Run Photograpy.
However, for fun, you can find me with my husband and kids paddle boarding the Guadalupe River, hiking many of the local area trails, planning our next beach getaway, or attending concerts at Gruene Hall.
I volunteer by planning community events for my neighborhood, attending monthly meetings for the New Braunfels Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and I’m a member of NB Women Go. You can also listen to me live at www.kwvh.org Wimberley Valley Radio on Wednesdays from 7am to 9am.”
