Yoga is my number one passion.  I enjoy the feeling of opening my body and feeling my muscles  work while breathing in life.  I practiced Yoga for many years and in 2003 decided that I wanted to start teaching and share the wonderful feeling that I get from Yoga with others.   It was shortly after that I discovered Pilates.  Having a background of ballet, it was only natural for me to get more involved with mat pilates and also all studio equipment such as a Reformer.

I take what I do seriously but enjoy bringing humor into my classes.  I believe humor and laughter along with a healthy body is the essence of happiness.  I enjoy sharing my experience of having fun while staying fit and healthy with people of all ages.  I am presently certified and teach Yoga, Pilates, and Senior Fitness.
