My journey with yoga began 14 years ago. Being an avid runner who has suffered through aches and pains over the years of pounding the pavement, I realized I could greatly benefit from yoga’s effects on strength, flexibility, and balance. I started practicing regularly and soon feel deep within the practice. In 2012, I decided to take my 200hrs Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Canmore, Canada. The practice of Yoga has taught me awareness of body and breath and to always find peace in chaos.I have realized that both yoga and running teach us to focus on the present moment. Mindfulness is a key part of yoga and running, as both find themselves focusing on the task at hand, without worrying about the problems of our daily lives. Breath awareness has allowed me to pace myself and run more efficiently. Quieting the mind while stretching and strengthening my body has helped me to relieve pain of muscle tension caused by long runs and daily stress.I hope my classes allow you to calm the mind, build strength, and increase awareness. It is a true pleasure and honor to inspire and share this practice with others.

Both Pilates and yoga are low-impact exercises, but there is one important difference. When practicing yoga, you typically adopt a position and hold it, or flow into a different position. In Pilates, you adopt a position and then challenge your core by moving your arms or legs. Both approaches increase strength and flexibility - essential for musculoskeletal health, function and pain reduction.
