Movement and the joy of sharing it with others has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up a dancer, I first found yoga as a way to recover between performances, but over time I came to appreciate how much deeper the practice goes beyond the physical. 
 
With more than a decade of experience in the fitness and wellness industry, I bring a background in studio operations, team development, sales, marketing, and community building to my role at Yonder. I joined the team in 2024, helped open our Athens and Charlotte studios, and now lead the Athens market while supporting teacher development, events and partnerships, and the continued growth of the Yonder brand. 
 
As a teacher, I love creating classes that feel energetic, dynamic, and playful while still grounded in the mind-body connection that makes yoga feel so powerful. Whether I’m leading a class, building a team, or growing a new market, my favorite part of this work is creating spaces where people feel connected, challenged, and excited to keep growing. I hope you’ll join me for a little growth – both on and off the mat!
