Through years of struggling with pelvic pain and Endometriosis, it was often proven to me that most fitness and exercise would only trigger my pain and symptoms. I was skeptical of giving yoga a try, but in 2012 while living in Key West, Florida, I decided to make an attempt. During my time on my mat, I witnessed my body prove to me, pose after pose, what it was capable of. I knew I had to make yoga a part of my life and share it with others, especially women like me dealing with chronic pain. Fast forward to May 2020; I graduated my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program, and started teaching regularly in studios and virtually. Since then, I have increased my training and become a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher certified in Trauma-Informed Yoga + Yoga for Women's Health. I love teaching the value of this practice not only for a strong mind/body connection and deeper body awareness, but as a therapeutic modality to ease the symptoms and pain of pelvic health issues.
