I have been teaching yoga since 2002, completing my first certification through the Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago in 2003. In 2014, I completed my first yoga therapy training through Spirit of the Lake Yoga (Lisa Pearson, Gracia Gimse-McKinley, and Sarah Martin). In June 2015, I received a certification of completion from Duke Integrative Medicine for Jim and Kimberly Carson’s Mindful Yoga for Cancer (formerly Yoga of Awareness for Cancer) course. I completed Level 2 of this training through Mindful Yoga Works in 2016. This past spring, I completed the iRest Level 1 teacher training and am LOVING the nuanced peacefulness of this practice. Currently, I am enrolled in Sevanti Institute’s Level 2 training for Ayurveda Wellness Counseling. Adam Gainsburg’s Breath of the Soul Meditation training and HeartMath Institute’s Add Heart Facilitator program also both inform my simple and heart-centered approach to my yoga therapy. My astrological studies began with the Temple of Kriya Yoga as well. Beginning with the Kriology Program, I completed their Practicing Astrologer and Esoteric Astrology courses. In 2015, I received Level 2 Certification through Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship Program. I have also completed the Robert Zoller Certificate of Medieval Astrology. With my Gemini North Node, you can see that I love studying… everything, all the time, always! My higher education began with music and ended up with a BFA in visual arts from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I have been trained in Thai Yoga Bodywork, Bach Flower Remedies, and Reiki. Noticing patterns, resonance, dissonance, and synchronicity in daily life and larger cycles fills me with a sense of wonder and awe. These synchronous moments are little nods from the Universe, affirming our place within this symphony of experience.
