Yoga became a regular part of my lifestyle in 2006. After a few years of practice with many instructors in a wide range of styles, in July 2012 I completed the Yoga Teacher Training Certification Program (200-hour) with Heather Falkin at Twist Vinyasa Yoga in Edmonds, WA.

I was trained in Vinyasa Yoga and enjoy the energy and vitality I experience in Vinyasa classes, but I appreciate many other yoga styles too. I derive much benefit from the more gentle, restorative styles, especially for those times when yoga needs to be less about "working out" and more about a healthy counterpart to the forms of exercise I regularly engage in -- cycling, swimming, weight-training. In all yoga styles, I value the holistic connections of body, mind, and breath. To learn more about my personal story, click on the "Story" link above.

I hope to extend my training to include advanced workshops in Yoga Therapy.
