Level 2 Certification
My yoga practice started in my 20s and I found a powerful tool to connect my body and my mind. Physical fitness was my focus but after finding yoga I realized my mental state is the key to wellbeing. I started teaching fitness and yoga classes in 2010 at my local YMCA. Soon after I happily found some great yoga teachers, Linda Clark, Jan Campbell, and Aretha McKinney in Nashville, thru their support and mentorship I received my Iyengar Yoga Teacher certificate in 2018. Most recently I passed my Level 2 exam. I continuously study with teachers at the studio and online. I attend workshops several times a year with Bobby Clennell, Jaki Nett, Randy Just, and Rebecca Lerner. I take online classes at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Puna, India with Abhijata Iyengar and Prashant Iyengar.
Middle Tennessee has been my home for over 30 years, I still live in the same neighborhood. I happily drive an hour to practice and teach at Chestnut Hill. I have a degree in Computer Information Systems and I truly love all logical things, another reason I love the methodical teaching style of Iyengar Yoga teachers. I work from home for a tech company so I sit around all day developing computer software so I take mini yoga breaks as much as I can.
