My journey

I started practing yoga in high school at my local YMCA as I was constantly recovering from soccer injuries. The physical is what drew me in, but it was the psychological that propelled me toward an insight. At the University of Wyoming studying psychology, I took The Class That Changed Everything. It was a Candlelit Yin/yang class on a cold October. The class and the practice as whole felt like a warm snug place for my mind to finally rest. It was a wrap – I earned my 200 hr YTT from the same studio the following May.

Student > Teacher > Student

I went on to teach hundreds of hours of yoga in four states, teaching at events, festivals, workshops, gyms, studios and more. The more subtle aspects of the practice continued to fascinate and inspire me so, I spent the next five years seeking continuing education in biopsychology, yoga and anxiety, depression and trauma, neuroplasticity, conscioussness and the psyche and yoga for mental health. In 2019 I completed a 300 hour Advanced Teacher Training certification with Selena Garfino studying yoga energetics, functional and applied anatomy/conditioning, Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine and classical yoga. Here I was introduced to Katonah Yoga®, a syncretic Hatha yoga practice based on taoist theory, geometry, metaphor and imagination. I’ve been studying Katonah ever since.
