I discovered yoga in 2012 after an injury disrupted my usual exercise routine. I found immediate relief through the practice, as its diverse poses safely stretched and strengthened my muscles. Within just a few months, I regained my full physical capacity. The benefits were so profound that continuing my practice was a no-brainer.

Over time, yoga became more than a physical practice for me. It unlocked incredible mental health benefits through slowing down, breathwork, meditation, and the discovery of sankalpa (intention setting). As a struggling addict, these tools helped me reclaim a sense of self-love through ahimsa (non-harming).

I became a regular at studios across Chattanooga and beyond, and within a year, I began my 200-hour teacher training with The Chattanooga Yoga School under the guidance of Madia Swicord and Jessica Ewart.

Since leading my first class in September 2013, I’ve taught over 1,000 group and private sessions for students of varying abilities, ages, and life experiences. I’ve shared yoga in studios, retreat centers, offices, festivals, museums, social clubs, city parks, farms, private residences, and beyond.

I specialize in yin and a slow, vinyasa-inspired style with a focus on breathwork and svadhyaya (self-study). My sessions are intentional, methodical, and mindful. For private and small group classes, I offer relaxing, hands-on assists (with consent) to help deepen your practice.

​I’m committed to making yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of physical ability, experience, age, or financial situation. Let’s connect and explore a practice that could change your life.
