Get to know me a little!

I am a mother of three awesome kids (young adults) that are all married, I'm married to a wonderful man for over 38 years, and have 6 beautiful grandchildren!

I'm was a middle school science teacher until my recent retirement in May of 2022!   I loved teaching middle school science, but I was ready for the next phase of my life - which involved taking up golf, more yoga teaching, more time with grandchildren and of course....traveling more!

​I love to be active with running, biking, swimming and hiking!  Which is what drew me to yoga!  As I was getting close to age 50, I realized I needed some balance for my body and I found yoga!  Since then I have learned SO many benefits to yoga that have changed my life!  I have become more relaxed, more centered, more balanced, all the while enhancing my faith which ultimately fueled a desire to share this beauty of yoga with others!  I have found more love in my heart and peace in my soul and I aspire to share this love and peace I have found with individuals through my classes, workshops and retreats.

My faith is very important to me!  I am a member of St. Paul's Catholic Church in Highland, IL.  I cantor for masses and I LOVE to share my love of music.  I also am a part of the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) team.  I assist with Perpetual Adoration one hour a week at the local hospital chapel.  All which enhance my faith and allow me to share with others.  

I completed my 500 hour yoga certification in June 2019!  I had the wonderful opportunity to learn from Max Strom - master yoga instructor - the summer of 2017 and 2018.  It certainly taught me a lot about yoga and myself!  I also had the privilege to learn from Deborah Adele - author of the "Yamas and Niyamas" - a wonderful book about the 10 essential components of yoga and life in general!  During my training I had the privilege to train from Michael Johnson for Asheville, NC - what an incredible experience.  In addition I was blessed to learn about Bahkti yoga from singer/artist and yogi Luna Ray!  What a powerful session!
  
I do love sitting on my patio in the summer mornings with my coffee (my little addiction!)  Nothing better than relaxing and enjoying the beauty God has given us!  I love to read (especially during the summer - about the only time I can with teaching!) and I LOVE to cook!

SO....I want to share this beauty of yoga with you.  Come join me to learn about the benefits and beauty of yoga!
