| Introduction | I started practicing yoga in 1996 to manage stress and chronic pain, but didn't get serious about it till I moved to Chicago in 1999 to pursue an acting career. My first teacher there was Gretchen Sonstroem whom I studied with for 2 years. She introduced me to the Anusara and Ashtanga styles. I had always toyed with the idea of teaching, so I went out to Santa Barbara, CA where I completed my first teacher training with Erich Schiffman. He introduced me to his "Freedom" style yoga which balances traditional Hatha yoga with your own intuition to create a spontaneous, beautiful practice. I continued to take workshops in the Anusara and yin yoga styles as I practiced and taught in Chicago. After just moving back to the area, I completed a 200 hour teacher training at Yogahome, Cincinnati where I am beginning to teach again. In the near future, I will be working towards certifications in Yin Yoga and Yoga Therapy, helping students with specific health concerns or illnesses. As always, I am indebited to my family, friends and teachers who continue to inspire and guide me. Namaste |
