WHEN DID YOU BEGIN CULTIVATING YOUR PRACTICE?

I began cultivating my yoga practice in 2018. I was battling with depression and anxiety and didn't have the tools to manage life challenges and obstacles. I discovered yoga and fell in love with the way it made me feel. Yoga helped me to calm and relax my mind, guiding me towards a deep sense of inner peace I had been longing for. My yoga practice is how I began to heal my wounds and work towards becoming a better human.

WHEN DID YOU BEGIN HELPING OTHERS CULTIVATE THEIR PRACTICE?

I earned my 200hr yoga teacher certification in 2023 and have been guiding others on the path of greater ease ever since. 

HOW DO YOU ENVISION CULTIVATE YOGA SERVING OUR COMMUNITY?

I envision Cultivate serving our community by aligning with its values of keeping yoga accessible for all. Yoga really should be free for everyone and I never want a price point to stop someone from receiving the healing modalities they need.

WHAT HAS YOGA HELPED TO CULTIVATE WITHIN YOU?

Yoga has helped me cultivate a deep sense of community and togetherness. Yoga has helped me to honor each connection made between teacher and students.

BESIDES YOGA, WHAT IS ONE THING THAT CULTIVATES JOY IN YOUR LIFE?

Other than yoga, my daughter cultivates the most joy in my life. Being her mom has made me more compassionate towards the world around me and overall a better human being. I have more patience and understanding. She is the funniest person that I know and there is never a dull moment with her around.
