Growing up, I fell in love with sports that prioritized movement—dance, gymnastics, cheerleading, etc. When I discovered yoga it felt like a blend of everything I loved, and I instantly connected with both the physical and mental benefits of the practice.  Over the years, there were times when I stepped away from my mat longer than I would have liked, but I always found myself returning—seeking connection, healing, and introspection.  After moving to Charlotte in the fall of 2024, I wasn’t sure I’d find a place to continue teaching—until I took my first class at Yonder. I’m so excited to help my students feel the same sense of “coming home” that I experienced when I found this studio.  When I’m not teaching at Yonder, you can almost always find me walking the Rail Trail, trying a new coffee shop with my fiancé and our dog Arrow, or traveling with my mom!
