Yoga Resume:
Through introspection comes self-discovery, with self-discovery, acceptance, with acceptance comes balance. Yoga is about bringing the body, mind, and soul into balance. When we are balanced we are able to be open, calm, clear minded, and can travel through life with ease and grace. Classes are designed to give students the space to dive inside their own form, breathe their individual energy, and unlock the boundless truth that exists at the core of all beings.

Dance Resume:
I began dancing at the age of ten at a little studio in Arizona. My love for dance continued through college and brought me to New York, where I continue to pursue this insatiable passion.
