CYT-200 Dragonfly Hot Yoga
(in progress) Prenatal Teaching Certification, Milwaukee Prenatal Yoga Community

My Teaching Style

I focus on practical movements and breathing techniques in my classes, with a modicum of fun and playfulness. With prenatal yoga, I aim to help mamas find poses and techniques to help them during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum.

Experience

My yoga journey began when my mother (imagine a cross between June Cleaver and a hippie) started doing yoga in the 1970s. My sister and I would steal her yoga book and try to replicate the poses. Fast forward to 2014 when my BFF talked me into a yoga class at DFly. Shortly after, I became a member and have enjoyed my journey into yoga.

Favorite Pose

Vrksasana or Tree pose. It was one of the first poses my sister and did from our mom’s yoga book. You need to have strength and softness in the pose.

Favorite Quote

“When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it.”
– Michelle Obama

Why I Love Dragonfly

“Every Shape. Every Size. Every Person.” It was true when I stepped into my first class in 2014 as it is today. The staff, the space and the community make it a magical place.

Little Known Fact About Me

Knitting is a second love to yoga.
