​My journey to yoga began long before I ever stepped onto a mat. At the age of five, I discovered a love for movement through tap dance, which quickly expanded into ballet and modern dance. Dance became my first language of self-expression, and I carried it with me through college, where I served as president of my university’s dance club for three years.

 

After graduation, I searched for ways to continue dancing as an adult, but in 1999, opportunities were limited. Life moved forward—I began my career, became a mother, and poured myself into the work of service.

In 2019, my partner introduced me to yoga. At first, I found it frustrating—I was out of shape and unsure of the practice. But I kept showing up, attending classes at my local studio, even if I didn’t fully understand what yoga was offering. Then came the pandemic, and like many, I stepped away from the mat.

​

In 2024, I returned to yoga—not just to support my partner, who had begun yoga teacher training, but to reconnect with myself. I started taking online classes and found a teacher whose approach resonated deeply. Through her guidance and my partner’s insights, I began to understand yoga as a spiritual journey, not just a physical practice. It filled a gap I hadn’t realized was there—reconnecting me to movement, meaning, and a sense of inner purpose.

​

In May 2025, I attended the Sedona Yoga Festival, where I met Sarah Finger and learned about her upcoming yoga teacher training through Deepak Chopra’s Gaja Collective. Three days later, I enrolled. It felt like a homecoming—a return to teaching, to movement, and to building community through embodied wisdom.

Bodhi & Prana Yoga for Wellness is the next step in my journey. It’s a space for growth, healing, and connection. I’m honored to share it with you.
