ABOUT

My yoga practice began in the early 2000’s when I was working as an Earth Scientist at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.  It was my way of incorporating more movement and seeking a deeper connection in my body to counter the sedentary lifestyle of office work.   The pranayama aspects of the classes had an immediate impact on me and I have been hooked ever since.  I continue to practice yoga and have found it to be a significant source of cultivating a sense of community since arriving in Newfoundland in 2006.   

I first started the 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in 2013 with Shakti Yoga to deepen my personal practice but learned that I very much enjoyed the teaching aspects when completing the practicum hours.  I discovered a passion for sharing the benefits of yoga with others in group and private classes.  I completed a 40-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training (February 2025) and 16-hour Yoga Nidra Training (June 2025) with Shakti Yoga Method.  My goal is to align my teaching aspirations with my enthusiasm for mindfulness, movement, and sharing this with others.
