Personal Bio:
Working in the Marketing field in the late 1980's I sought something to reduce my over-all stress level and found exactly what I needed with my first Kripalu Yoga class. More than temporary stress relief, I came home to myself and connected with a deep peace within.
Yoga became an essential part of my life, and as a natural progression of this, I started the process of becoming a Yoga Teacher in the summer of 1993. The bountiful rewards from teaching yoga substantially eclipsed my full-time corporate job and Dec. 31, 1993, I left behind a 10 year marketing career to help and inspire others through Yoga, Meditation, Massage and Nutrition.
Although I no longer practice massage, in 2009 I became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and offer educational seminars and Living Food Classes.
It is my personal experience that healthy life choices: healthy food, meditative physical movement (yoga) and seated meditation practices - take us a long way down the path to living healthier, happier, more balanced lives. And that is my wish for you!
