Yoga Training/Experience

Yoga is a very important part of my daily life and has been since 2005, I began teaching this amazing gift of Yoga to others in 2007. I've been trained through Yoga Fit Level 1, level 2, level 3, Anatomy and Alignment, Yoga Therapy, and Level 1 integration. I've taken many different Yoga specific workshops, and practice Yoga daily; I am always learning, growing and plan to continue my knowledge and certifications.

I began teaching Private Yoga after being asked by a fellow motocrosser if working one on one was a possibility? His curiosity and my openness was a gift for both of us. After 3 months of weekly private Yoga session he was able to find more suppleness in his joints, low back, allowing him to move in ways he didn't know was possible. Watching his progress was amazing, I knew then I wanted to focus more on individual yoga sessions, supporting and guiding their unique needs and goals.

January 2011 I had the opportunity to host a Unique Perfections Yoga Wellness Retreat at the famous "Resort of the Mountain" in Welche’s, OR. May 2011 I hosted another Unique Perfections Yoga Wellness Retreat at the amazing "Hidden Lake Retreat" in Eagle Creek, OR, where I've also had the pleasure of guiding Yoga at their twice yearly Silent retreats. December 2011, was a new experience sharing the gift of Yoga at a Women's Writing Workshop at the beautiful and rustic Silver Falls, OR.
