I was living in Salt Lake City, Utah, studying and teaching yoga at local Yoga Studios and The Front Climbing Club, when I was introduced to Escalante, Utah, by a dear friend who knew and loved the area. This led me to move to the beautiful Utah desert, where I opened the Monument Yoga Studio. I love teaching yoga in this beautiful monument. E-RYT 500 (Experience Registered Yoga Teacher) YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) I have studied with Peter Francyk, Ana Forrest, Seane Corn, along with many other inspiring yogi's. Teaching consistently since 2010. Leading Yoga Teacher Training courses since 2016 Namaste. For real.

I am thrilled that The Escalante Loop now provides continuing growth opportunities for the many yoga practitioners in the area and those passing through. At the University of Utah I was fortunate to learn asana from a fellow student and his wife. They taught informally in their home. Kundalini was not much practiced in the United States at the time, but many years later I recalled that he had said he thought I would benefit from this particular practice when I encountered a Kundalini class at the YMCA. I jumped at the opportunity and found he was correct. In 2013, I studied with Lauren Maher and Tanya Greve at Shakta Yoga to earn my Yoga Teaching Certificate in Kundalini / Hatha. I believe that as instructors we are called upon to tailor and adapt yoga to suit the needs of each student. I look forward to each teaching opportunity. I have enjoyed teaching various classes for adults, teachers, elementary students, and individuals.
