She/her

When did you start your yoga journey?
I took my first yoga class 20 years ago with my mom at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. About a year earlier, my parents had given me a gift card to Bikram Yoga, but I was too nervous to try it and didn’t redeem it for almost a decade when I went with Tracy. From there, I developed a more regular practice.

What do you enjoy the most about your practice?
I enjoy the sacred space that’s created — a place where I can gently release my thoughts and simply be, fully present in what I feel.

What’s your favorite thing about 108 Yoga?
The sense of community, the gift of spending more time with my family, and the joy of watching my sister’s dream come to life.

What do you like to do when you’re not at yoga?
Walking by the river, reading, just being outdoors, and anything to do with water!

Whats your walkout song?
“Supersonic” Oasis

One word to describe you?
Intuitive.

What is your favorite class? And why?
Blaze! I love the fast pace and the challenge of the class — it keeps me energized and fully present. I’m always excited to see what creative standing single-leg balance sequence awaits. And afterward, I love treating myself to something from Embrace Earth. The perfect way to kick off the weekend

.What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I met the love of my life (Darren) through yoga, Tracy, and a January yoga challenge 7 years ago.
