​​

My path to yoga is a powerful story of transformation, healing, and self-love. After facing serious health challenges—including heart attacks and a knee replacement and Osteoporosis—I was introduced to yoga as part of my recovery. What began as a doctor’s suggestion soon became my life’s work. I lost 190 pounds and gained a new sense of purpose through yoga. I am a 1008-hour RYS Bhakti yoga teacher with over four years of Ayurvedic study and five years of anatomy training. My classes are heart-centered, accessible, and rooted in lived experience. I deeply understand the vulnerability of starting—or restarting—a wellness journey and bring compassion, encouragement, and inspiration to every student I meet. Sharing my passion and knowledge with YTT 200 Yoga students has been a dream come true. I feel in my soul that supporting others on their own journey is my true calling, whether that be through 1:1 coaching , classes or retreats .

 

I have been married to my best friend Steve for over 48 years. Together we've built a beautiful life with three children, 11 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. I love kayaking, hiking, biking on my e-bike, and traveling the country in our motorhome surrounded by family and lifelong friends.

 

I currently teach at  YogaSix in Brentwood, California. My energy, wisdom, and radiant spirit make me an inspiring teacher and guide for those seeking healing, balance, and deeper connection.
