Manager + RYT 200 HR

You never know what rooms you step into that will change the trajectory of your life. Little did I know when I said “yes” to trying a class that it would lead to so much more—a home, a community, and my next adventure. A single class became the gift that kept on giving: “yes” to YTT, “yes” to teaching, “yes” to being a manager, and “yes” to so many opportunities within the studio. Most importantly, it became a “yes” to a tribe of like-minded humans.

I continue to step through these doors and am greeted by my best friends—talented, real, and authentic humans committed to personal growth and development, just like me. They are so unique, always teaching me something new or sparking inspiration. Lifelong friendships and a sense of community are just pieces of the whole—a balanced life that fosters longevity and well-being.

While life isn’t perfect, being surrounded by people who strive for peace, daily movement, community, nourishing food, authenticity, growth, belonging, gratitude, serving others and fostering a safe space, feels like a gift in this big world. Laughter and simplicity are everything. It’s an honor to support and serve our community through my work at the studio.

The only certainty in life is uncertainty, but as I continue to say “yes” to this space, I am hopeful the journey will bear beautiful fruit and continued growth.
