Beginner Yoga

I found yoga in an unexpected place – on a massage table in 2007. I was there seeking relief from fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome. The massage therapist, a woman decades older than me with the same ailments, but moving with such strength, shared that yoga was her secret. Inspired, I signed up for massage therapy school and rolled out my first yoga mat.

Life took some hard turns after that. Addiction pulled me away from everything good – my massage work, yoga, my family, and myself. I eventually found my way to recovery and back to. life. In 2020, my best friend practically dragged me to a hot yoga class one early rainy morning. There, dripping with sweat, matching movement to breath, I felt something shift inside me. That moment sparked a lifelong change in me, and I have devoted myself to the practice every day since.

Yoga changed everything for me – it changed how I live my life. I find peace in my body, clarity in my mind, and a connection to something greater than myself. Yoga is a precious gift, and it fills my heart to share it. Everyone deserves to find their way back to themselves. That's why I teach, to empower people to rediscover themselves, to develop an embodied practice that radiates outward. I offer a safe space for healing, growth, and becoming.

I know what it's like to be lost. I also know what it's like to find your way back. Let me walk with you on this path. Together, we can discover the strength that's already inside you. Life gives us all different wounds to heal from. But here's what I've learned: wounds become windows, curiosity leads to discovery, and every person’s journey of healing adds to humanity’s collective consciousness.

In a world that's telling us to be something else, the bravest thing we can do is be ourselves. It's not always easy. Sometimes it's terrifying. But this journey to finding yourself? It's the most important work you'll ever do.

Ready to begin? Let's practice together.

Pilates & Yoga

Fitness has been a life-changing journey for me, and I’m passionate about helping others discover their own journey. Originally from the north, I found my true heart and home in the sunny south. With over 27 years of experience as a public school educator, teaching is at the core of who I am. For the past six years, I’ve brought that passion into leading group fitness classes.

Certified in both Pilates and Yoga, I combine the two to create a practice that nurtures the mind, body, and soul.  I believe in achieving wellness through a balanced approach that combines strength, flexibility, and balance.

When I’m not teaching, I love exploring parks, beaches and lighthouses. I spend a lot of time recharging by the water with my husband and taking our dog, Rylie for long walks. The ocean is my ultimate source of inspiration and energy.

Meditation & Gentle Yoga

I believe in yoga as not only a spiritual & physical practice but a lifestyle. I completed my 200 Hour YTT at Spiritual Journey Wellness Center, in NJ where I’m from, in 2015. I moved to Ormond Beach 3 years ago to live a simple and minimalistic life with my husband and fur babies. I am mom to my beautiful 25-year-old daughter. I have my BSW and have worked with children and families in crisis for 8 years. I then transitioned to a Wellness Coach. 

I am currently a Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness Coach for adults with challenges such as trauma, addiction, ASD, depression and anxiety. I am also certified in Trauma Focused Yoga. I became a Home Health Aid when I moved to Florida, as I love taking care of seniors and sharing my holistic approach to living with them. They enjoy utilizing gentle movement, breathwork and meditation to enhance their lives. 

My peace is the ocean, and I have been teaching BEACH yoga since my journey began. I am passionate about sharing what I have learned as well as learning from my students. I will create a safe and supportive space for you to practice and grow. My classes focus on gentle mindful movement, breathwork and meditation. I am dedicated to creating an inclusive and diverse vibe to all my classes and I am looking forward to meeting you!

Hatha Yoga

Teaching Yoga is my passion and I’d love to help you progress in your practice. My teachers were Syama and Dhyana Masla (sisters) who owned and operated two Yoga studios in New York. I was so blessed to have them in my life. I learned the importance of alignment and so much more; I want to share that knowledge so others can get as much benefit from Yoga as possible. That was 14 years ago and I have been teaching ever since.

I am so happy to be in Flagler Beach. Yoga has truly been a game changer in my life.
