I began practicing yoga in 2006 to stretch and strengthen to support my running. I fell in love with the beautiful mind and body connection - so much so that in 2016 I sought my 200-hour certification at the Yoga Center of Minneapolis so I could share! I completed my program and since 2017 have taught in-person and virtually in a variety of spaces including studios, fitness centers, as well as in community spaces such as supportive housing, shelters, and in business settings.

​

I’m committed to holding a brave and accepting space for all kinds of people with various bodies, backgrounds, and abilities to find joyful movement and breathe deeply.

Practicing with me will offer you a sweet time to notice where you are at, to then be in your best place to love the world well in your unique way.

I bring my dance and gymnastics background to the practice of teaching of yoga. I enjoy teaching beginners who are just starting their yoga journey as well as seasoned practitioners who might need to slow down and enjoy that journey more. My slow flow style is accessible for all body types and ability levels. I teach YogaKids classes, Gentle Hatha, and Chair Yoga around the Pinellas County area.

UpLIFT Nola is located in the beautiful, historic Algiers Point neighborhood on the Westbank of New Orleans. The studio is more than 100 years old and has served the community in numerous capacities, but today it offers a quaint and quiet place to rejuvenate. Our teachers use dynamic mindfulness, meditation, yoga, art and other wellness practices to help students shake off the stress of life and restore balance.
