WHEN DID YOU BEGIN CULTIVATING YOUR PRACTICE?

My yoga birth coincided with Cultivate's; 2021! I went to the grand opening of Cultivate Avon and have been growing my practice ever since!

WHEN DID YOU BEGIN HELPING OTHERS CULTIVATE THEIR PRACTICE?

I have been offering Hands-on assists at Cultivate Avon and EssentialZen in Aurora since I graduated from Marni Task’s 200hr Jivasara teacher training program in 2023. I am excited to expand my offerings by teaching regularly!

HOW DO YOU ENVISION CULTIVATE YOGA SERVING OUR COMMUNITY?

Cultivate Yoga is the most vibrant community I have ever been a part of. A community full of so much love can only grow. I envision its expansion and connection to the greater Cleveland community through service, joy, and love.

WHAT HAS YOGA HELPED TO CULTIVATE WITHIN YOU? 

Yoga has helped me deepen my relationship with myself. I am cultivating love, honesty, trust, and communication within my own body and mind, and it’s benefiting all of my relationships. I have always been a deep feeler and my yoga practice has helped me find strength in that.

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

Only one thing?! No can do. I love music, bare feet on the earth, firm hugs, and meaningful connection.
