Yoga has been a friend to me in many stages of life; from college to establishing myself in a new city, to engagement and marriage, and now motherhood. I found Sumits Hot Yoga in college and I was one of those oddities that loved my first class and couldn’t wait to go back. My love for the Sumits practice catapulted me into attending teacher training and becoming a certified instructor.

I have always been a sucker for a good workout, and there is something about the yoga practice that never gets old. Whether it’s the Sumits sequence that never changes or any other expression of yoga, the practice always surprises me. It’s a constant that always seems to change with me.

I love practicing because it gives me the space to slow down and I can use the time to gain perspective and appreciation for life. I love teaching because it allows me to love others by creating a safe and creative space to practice yoga.

Besides yoga, my passions are my family (shoutout hubby and daughter), my work in housing development and real estate, and my faith. Recommend a good book, or tell me you quilt, and we’ll be fast friends. Relationships mean a lot to me, and I’m grateful that Sumits Hot Yoga has given me so many.
