MOVEMENT
Before I found yoga, I always identified myself as an athlete. I grew up playing hockey, softball, basketball, golf, and lacrosse. The health and wellness industry has always interested me - I knew I loved working out, and I knew I enjoyed helping others. When I declared my major in nutrition and dietetics, I didn't realize how far it would lead me down a natural and functional path in healthcare, and in life.
​
As someone who has loved running races, and participating in biking events, yoga humbled me and made me catch my own breath. I always thought I had to be working out every day of the week, pushing myself to exhaustion, and not giving myself a day off. Even on the days that I would take a hot yoga class, I would still find myself hitting the gym before it. After consistently doing yoga for a few years, I realized I wasn't going for the work out anymore, I was going for the message of the class and the healing that yoga offered. I knew something kept pulling me back in to the classes, and I couldn't quite understand why.
​
Yoga offered the healing I didn't know I needed. I knew that Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) was what I wanted to do next. I completed my Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) 200 hour training at the outstanding TriBalance Studio in Schaumburg, IL. Using my RYT certification, I have found ways to offer the same healing that I once searched for, to the community. Some of my experiences include:
-
Kids yoga at Whole Foods in Little Rock, AR
-
Cardiac rehab yoga at Strong Hearts Cardiac Rehab in Little Rock, AR
-
Adult yoga flow at Anytime Fitness in Bryant, AR and North Little Rock, AR
-
Teen and adult yoga flow at the Elk Grove Park District in Elk Grove Village, IL
