I fell in love with yoga over 15 years ago. From the moment I stepped onto my mat for the first time, I was hooked. As a longtime dancer and athlete, I was first drawn to yoga for the physical benefits as a way to supplement my dance training; I quickly realized that it was more than just about the asana practice. Not only does yoga make me feel strong, flexible, and agile; I love how my mind finds peace as I connect with my breath, body, and self.
​
I have been a lover of the water all my life. As a child, whether it was a pool, lake, or ocean, I was typically the first one in and the last one out. Moving to the Kawartha Lakes over ten years ago has left me surrounded by water - a place where I feel at peace and am able to play and enjoy time with myself and family. Taking my SUP/SUP yoga certification was a natural progression in what has been a lifetime of love for the water. Yoga on the water? Just wait until you experience savasana with your feet and fingertips caressing the water. True bliss!
​
As a local dance educator, I love moving for joy and encourage others to find what feels good for them in their own body. Building community through movement education is something that I am deeply passionate about. It’s important to me that my students feel supported, encouraged, and capable no matter where they are in their movement journey. In my classes, you will leave feeling supported, calm, strong, and just the right amount of challenged.
​
Who am I beyond the mat/water/studio? A mom to two incredible kids (the absolute joys of my life), a lover of the arts, and a compassionate human who encourages others to move, breathe, and simply be.
I'm excited and humbled to be a part of your movement journey.
