My journey with yoga began in my early twenties - working long shifts in a bar & restaurant in NYC left my body so overworked and tense that I was in constant back pain.
And so, like many people, I came to yoga for my body but what I found there was so much more.
Postpartum, I started to understand more about the importance of the pelvic floor and became really interested in the ways that yoga can help support pelvic health. Awareness of the pelvic floor is integrated into all of my classes, and I offer specific Core + Pelvic Floor group and individual sessions to rebuild a healthy and functional connection to the pelvic floor muscles.
Over the years, yoga has become my touchstone and guided me through motherhood, intense grief and loss and so much more.
These days, I'm a Mum to three thriving kids, and life can get very busy.
I also live with a genetic kidney disease called ADPKD that has given me focus to live my life to the full without regret, and to make the very most of my time and experience in this beautiful and powerful body. I am driven to support other people to do the same.
The things that I value most are equity for all, inclusivity, honesty, integrity and the power of supportive friendships, community and kindness.
When I'm not teaching, you'll most likely find me chilling with my husband and kids (or at their sports events!), camping, skiing or hiking in the Rocky mountains on our doorstep, or catching up with friends in and around Calgary!
