My journey with yoga began in 2002 when I followed a friend to a yoga class in Michigan.

I had no idea what I was getting into, or even if I enjoyed the first class, but after a few months of intermittent attendance I found myself back on my mat almost every day for the next year and a half. When I moved back to Cleveland I found Inner Bliss, Tammy, and a wonderful community of people that make IBY studio a special place.

In 2008, I traveled to Mt. Madonna in Santa Cruz, CA to attend a 200-hour YTT program to grow in my practice. This practice has enriched my life in all facets: mind, body & spirit. Meditation on breath and movement has opened my awareness to unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behaviors while gaining strength and flexibility! Redirecting energy wasted on unhealthy habits allowed me to focus more on what fills me up--faith, purpose, family, & community.

I practice yoga because… the practice of meditation on breath and movement opens my awareness to unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors while also gaining strength and flexibility.

I teach yoga because… It is a practice that has helped me immensely and I love sharing things that have worked for me in hopes of helping someone else.

I find peace… when I am in the moment.

I have been most influenced by… my dad, his love of God, and his commitment to living life according to his beliefs.

Some of my favorite snacks are… salty & sweet, tops: Quinn's pretzels and Mitchells.

I am happiest when… I'm in the present moment being grateful.

I couldn’t live without… my husband and kids, family, friendship, and faith.

When I’m not at Inner Bliss, you might find me… at home.

My favorite mantra is… thank you.

Every day I… start again.
