My classes encourage students to celebrate themselves, right now as they are, and to welcome yoga into their lives as a way to do just that. I enjoy teaching a balanced class that offers everyone an opportunity to safely explore their bodies and minds, and the connection between them. I completed my 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training with Therese Crews at the College of Lake County in 2020. I have completed additional trainings in Yin and Restorative yoga with the Yandara Yoga Institute as well as various advanced level trainings with Tiffany Cruikshank and Yoga Medicine. I love to share Reiki healing with students during Restorative yoga classes. Yoga has been a source of healing and connection in my life since my early 20’s when I attended my first class while in nursing school. Throughout my life yoga has been woven into the tough times as well as the fun and exciting ones. I have enjoyed many special moments in yoga classes and retreats with my family who are also enthusiasts as well as yoga teachers. So very happy to be a part of the Trillium community!
