Original Hot Yoga has been a major part of my life for over half of this lifetime! I 1st started Bikram yoga back in high school and would then drive 30 min to the studio in snowstorms, on Cape Cod because it was the perfect challenge! I was a dancer throughout my childhood & the challenge matched my need for change, on a deeper, and then unknowingly, spiritual way. I couldn't afford the official teacher training at the time, so I found Kripalu Yoga Center in the Berkshires of M.A. & went on to live there for a bit, taking part of the live-in work study program, eventually did their Teacher trainings, also specializing in Prenatal yoga, vinyasa, and yin. I later began to travel the country, always keeping the hot yoga in my back pocket, until I landed in Austin about 20 years ago. Soon after, I found Pure. I completed Pure Yoga Institutes 1st ever 9 week intensive Yoga Teacher Training here in Austin, in 2017. I have since expanded my teaching to incorporate Inferno Hot Pilates, and am looking forward to adding my Personal Trainers certification to the mix.
Fun Fact: When not at the studio, you can find me in Greece with my 2 children and partner 😉 I love reading, hiking, dogs, cats, and learning about new things.
