I had dabbled in yoga as far back as 2008, after a horrendous car accident left me with a stiff achey body my yoga journey truly began in 2013 when a friend invited me to try a hot yoga class at the studio where she taught. It was an incredibly transformative experience and I was HOOKED. I attended quite a few more classes and even started to seriously consider going through the teacher training that they offered. At the time, I worked at a desk in a corporate office and began to form a plan to go through the studio's YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) program on the weekends, at a slower pace, so that I could continue to work while. All of that changed a few months later when a tragic and traumatic event took place at the office where I worked. This led me to decide to "take the leap"; I quit my job, and signed up for the Intensive 500 Hour YTT course.

And I have not once regretted it in the more than 10 years that I've been teaching.
