ABOUT THE STUDIO & INSTRUCTOR

I began my fitness career in January 1988 and earned my AFAA certification in 1990. In 2010, I found my passion for yoga when I was invited to teach at the local YMCA. Initially hesitant, I didn’t think yoga would offer the intensity I was used to, nor did I fully understand its profound benefits. However, I soon discovered a deeper connection to the practice. I became certified through AAAI/ISMA in Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 yoga, and later earned a certification in relaxation and meditation, with a focus on yoga breathing and Yoga Nidra.

I successfully launched four yoga classes at the YMCA, which continue to thrive with new instructors. In February 2021, I opened HYOM, debuting my first hot yoga class. The combination of yoga’s powerful benefits with the heat has allowed students to elevate their practice to new heights, and I’m proud to share this transformative experience with the community.
