She/her

When did you start your yoga journey?
The winter of 2024.

What do you enjoy the most about your practice?
Seeing improvement, knowing there are always things to improve upon; that's like a gift. Being able to experience these feelings alongside supportive friends is a treasure.

Whats your favorite thing about 108 Yoga?
Walking in and seeing my mat on the floor, already set out, next to friends, shows me that I'm expected, I'm wanted. This brings me such comfort and joy and has enabled me to build community and thrive.

What do you like to do when you’re not at yoga?
I love reading, watching ncaa basketball with my husband (go Illinois!), chatting with my mom or kids, gardening and plants in general, sewing, and snuggling with our two pugs, Athena and Apollo.

Whats your walkout song?
”Remember the Name” --Fort Minor

One word to describe you?
Optimistic

What is your favorite class? And why?
108! Sunday mornings at 7am, bathed in the reddish glow of the Hadeed Mercer sign and the sun is starting to come up, standing alongside my friends and marveling as we make it through the various rounds... I know I am right where I'm supposed to be! Doing a practice I wouldn't have thought possible but is :)

What’s something most people don’t know about you?
There is a tradition of quilting in my family and I love quilting and sewing. I have a gorgeous quilt that my great grandmother and grandmother made together (my grandmother gave it to me on my wedding day.)
