Certification/Trainings: 

Soon after teaching hot yoga classes in the summer of 2012, I completed an Asheville Yoga Center 230 hour teacher training with Stephanie Keach. Since then, I have taught Yoga I, Power Vinyasa, Align and Flow, and Hot Yoga.

​

Lately, I have been traveling to Orlando to study with Steve Ross and Tymi Howard at Guruv Yoga studios.  I am currently half way through another 200 hour Teacher Training with Tymi and Steve.

 

I have also been studying and teaching the Jimmy Barken hot yoga method.

 

I found yoga in the early nineteen nineties while recovering from minor surgery. I went on a health kick and started practicing breathing exercises and meditation with Dr Andrew Weil’s books and CD’s. Later on I practiced yoga postures with Priscilla Patrick’s SCETV show.

​

From 1999 until 2007, I studied meditation/mindfulness with Deborah Welborn who gave private lessons and lived in Aiken during that time.  In that same time frame, I also learned a form of Vinyasa flow yoga with the Steve Ross “Inhale” TV show.

​

My first live class in 2007 was also the first Vinyasa class offered in Aiken at Just Breathe studio.  I continued to attend classes with Nicole Tibshirany, Kristen Henninger and Heather Peterson.  

​

My favorite posture is Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Balance)

Yoga has taught me all the practices necessary to stay relaxed and “just be” in each moment.
