Biography: I began practicing yoga in 1998 when I discovered a class at Akron U. For almost as many years, I have been studying and teaching Anthropology to college students in northern and central Ohio. When I’m not encouraging my students to appreciate other worldviews, I’m busy teaching my own daughters to be compassionate, global citizens as a stay-at-home mom. In 2006, my appreciation for yoga was forever changed by motherhood. After attending my first postnatal/infant yoga class, I knew yoga would be a foundation of my own daughters’ lives – something fun and energetic, and yet still soothing and meditative. Yoga was not only a vehicle for improving the coordination and concentration of my daughters, but also for relieving childhood anxiety and restless nights through awareness of breath and guided visualization. After many years of sharing my fondness for yoga with my family (and enjoying the benefits of the practice on small minds and bodies) I decided to take the next step to bring children’s yoga to the community. I completed my teacher training with Cosmic Kids Yoga in 2014, and began offering story-based yoga at the public library and at Little Wonders Preschool. I completed my 200-hour teacher training at Open Way Yoga in 2016.
