Where I'm fromI grew up and was raised the majority of my life in Tempe, Arizona. I received my BS in Recreation Management with an Emphasis in Community and Urban Recreation from Arizona State University in 2006. Before graduation I began my dream job working full time for the City of Chandler's Recreation Department. Shortly after graduating in March of 2007 I became very ill and was diagnosed with a neurological disorder called GuillainBarré syndrome (GBS). This is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the nervous system. My symptoms started out mild with weakness and tingling in my legs and arms and quickly spread, eventually paralyzing my whole body. Because of the severity of the illness, at 23 years old, I was placed on short term disability and finally long term disability that ended my employment. My daily routine of getting up before work to go to the gym had been exchanged with medications, being showered, dressed and fed by family, and weekly (if not sometimes daily) doctors appointments. The wonderful team of doctors and nurses who worked with me encouraged me to start physical therapy as soon as possible to aid in my recovery. Over the next two years I went to therapy and started using yoga to help regain my balance, coordination, and strength. Believing that God had a plan to use my illness and recovery to inspire others I began to let my new dream take flight. In July of 2009 I completed my teacher training at Yahweh Yoga in Chandler, AZ. I have been teaching ever since and each day rediscover what my body is capable of doing.Snippet of my styleMy Vinyasa Flow classes blend breath, music and movement, creating a challenging yet playful yoga practice. You will feel like a kid again as you strengthen your entire body and core and may surprise yourself by going upside down. I allow my students to learn at their own pace, and my goal is that you will leave every class with a smile on your face, feeling a little more in touch with that child within. I have a diverse teaching schedule with something for everyone. Check out the 'get sweaty' tab on the menu for my schedule.Where I am goingI continue to push and challenge my body in ways I never would have dreamed of doing before my illness. In 2011 I completed my first half marathon in January with a time of 2:03:53, and my first Triathlon in May and came in 2nd in my age group. I continue to train for another triathlon later this year as well as another half marathon. I am so thankful to the amazing yoga instructors, athletes, personal trainers, friends, and family who have inspired me and most of all thankful to God for giving me this passion and allowing me to share it with the community. My Prince CharmingThat wonderful guy in the picture next to me is my husband and best friend Josh. He inspires me daily. He makes me laugh, listens to me even when I am not really saying anything, and allows me to follow and pursue my dreams. He is a kid at heart who has stolen my heart.
