“Yoga to me is about telling the truth. It means showing up to the mat exactly as I am in that moment and honoring every last bit of what I am able to bring (the good, bad, and everything in between). Sometimes that looks like a hot sweaty power flow where I feel as if I embody all things “Warrior-Princess-Bad-Ass-Superwoman,” and other times it looks like an hour in Child’s Pose where I cry my eyes out and process what is breaking my heart. Yoga is a constant journey to true authenticity and vulnerability with ourselves and the world around us.

Every time we roll out our mats it looks different. When I am guiding my classes my goal is to create a safe space where my students can enter in with curiosity instead of a sense of striving or perfectionism. I aim to enthusiastically guide my people into a judgment-free zone where we can check our egos at the door and simply allow what is to be. I love to curate the perfect playlist to jive with the intention of our practice! From Beyonce to Hootie and the Blowfish, you never know who’s about to belt out a tune!

I came to yoga in 2010 when searching for natural remedies for my debilitating endometriosis symptoms. I was in my first year of teaching elementary school and my husband, Adam, and I were beginning the process of adopting our first child. That journey was wrought with many ups and downs that created a lot of anxiety in our lives. My faith and the moving meditation that is yoga became my saving grace. My yoga mat became my safe space; a place where I could let my guard down, tell the truth and talk to God about what was happening in my heart and mind.

In 2012, I lost my dad to suicide and my lens regarding mental health completely shifted. Yoga went from something I did for myself, to something I longed to share with others. This movement is a powerful practice that can become the change agent to up-level your life so that you can become exactly who you were created to be! I know that sounds like a high claim, so I invite you to come check it out for yourself! When we carve out the time to slow down and connect to our breath, we can become conscious observers of our own bodies and our inner realm. It is then that we can start to call ourselves out on our own BS and find growth in ways we never thought possible!

I did my teacher training in 2015 and became a 200-RYT. We now have three beautiful children through the beautiful journey of adoption and love calling New Braunfels home. I have been so blessed to have met many beautiful souls on the mat, and I can’t wait for YOU to be one of them! Come on! Let’s Go! This work has truly taught me to let go of the ego and be my truest self. It’s taught me over and over that, I am in charge of my destiny, my thoughts and my mind and body. My hope and passion is to teach you these things too! So grab that 6 feet of magical real estate, roll it out, press that link and just show up. I promise the growth is in the grit!”
