My classes are empowering, challenging and fun.

My training and certifications: RYT 200 through Yoga Lounge & Barre, Restorative Certification, certified group exercise instructor since 2002 through AFAA, and a certified health coach through ACE and IIN. I have taught tons of fitness classes in my life ranging from HIIT, cardio kickbox, strength training, Zumba and step aerobics.

My Yoga Story: As I was finishing grad school, I started working part-time at lululemon, which was my introduction to the world of yoga. At the time, the people in my circle were obsessed with yoga, and I could feel the power of the practice just by the enthusiasm of how each person described the practice and personalized benefits. I tried my first class in 2008. I actually didn't fall in love right away, but I knew I had to try it out again; I just had to experience what everyone was talking about. After a few classes, I was hooked. As someone who has always made exercise and physical movement a priority, yoga allows me to experience something different than a runner's high...a feeling that's difficult to articulate. The practice is challenging yet peaceful. I love the practice because I leave with a sense of accomplishment, wholeness and bliss.

My Mixtape: I am strongly connected to music, so my classes include music that are part of my personal mixtapes & inspire me to move. You will hear artists from me including Ne-Yo, Calvin Harris, Macklemore, Tones and I, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Justin Bieber and more. I love remixes too.

For fun, I enjoy spending time with my husband, and two daughters (Emerson, 6 & Camryn, 4). We love being outdoors, no matter the season. I love watching the world through their eyes, and they teach me to be more present. I am a proud dance mom. I love to be active, but watching Bravo tv is also a guilty pleasure. I love going to concerts & listening to music, vacationing to white, sandy beaches, shopping, running, anything wellness, and everything Cleveland (sports/restaurants/hot spots). I love being unapologetically me, and laughing with my family & friends.
