Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
Learned meditation at age of 8. Taught by my 3rd grade school teacher.
Curiosity after reading The Power of Myth in college led me to search for a yoga studio home.
Divorce with two small children helped me to focus on being present with my kids in order to heal.
Was laid off from soul-sucking corporate job. Took the leap and created my own yoga business.
Took a job as a teacher at Fusion Academy, education with soul.

Day to Day
I teach a number of subjects at Fusion Academy to junior high and high schoolers, including my passions, Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation. I also run Imagine Yoga, the business I co-created where I teach private one on one yoga classes and group workshops at yoga studios and yoga festivals. All of my yoga classes include intention-setting and meditation. Most of my classes include journaling / writing.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Begin learning the art and science of meditation. Begin a physical yoga practice. Begin finding ways to cultivate and live a life you are proud of. Stay curious and ask yourself questions about how things make you feel. How do you WANT to feel?
