My yoga experience started with a flyer picked up while working in a sidewalk box in front of the studio in 1999. I was at the end of a 30 year career fixing phone lines. After spending nearly 30 years working and lifting in awkward positions my aching back was looking for a remedy. It took six months before attending my first class but once my yoga journey started it hasn’t stopped. First it was 1 or 2 times a week. Then within a year it was 2 or 3 times a week.

Being acknowledged as student of the month gave even more inspiration to go as far as I could go with yoga. The idea of going to teacher training came up and with all my responsibilities taken care of off I went for the 2 months of intensive training, Class of Fall 2004.

It was at teacher training when the decision was made to come out of retirement and spend the rest of my life teaching yoga.

The yoga community is all encompassing and I love being a part of it. I am devoted to Being Yoga, Robin, my first teacher, and making the experience for every student to be as fulfilling as mine has been. Seeing the practice of yoga heal all aliments whether it be mind, body or spirit is the most rewarding experience that has happened to me.
