I’ve been a member of the Baptiste Yoga community for six years. I’ve taught yoga at various studios in Boston for the past three years, working with students to find grounding and stability as I continue to find those qualities in my own practice and life. My first taste of Baptiste Yoga was equal parts resistance and wonder, quite literally wondering what in the world I got myself into? The heat, the physical work and the entire atmosphere had me planning to run out the door unnoticed, but fortunately I didn’t get the chance. Learning the tools to stay focused and work through resistance, I created enough space for acceptance of what was happening in the moment, and slowly I gained the clarity to continue waking up to what works and what doesn’t work. This journey into my power led me to complete my 200 hour Teacher Training with Naima Workman and Brandon Compagnone in 2020, and work with Baron Baptiste in several training programs. I am excited to continue to look for what’s possible and create transformation right here, right now! Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.
