I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and yoga teacher. The latter came later in my life, but came at the right time.
I was looking for something, not knowing what, I set out to explore. I tried to go back to college. I tried looking
for another job, thinking I just needed a change, one office to another. I don't know why I thought that would
work, but neither of those seemed quite right. During this time my son graduated from high school and moved
away from home to attend college in another state, and my daughter was right behind him, to attend beauty school
in another state as well. But all through this I had yoga. I always looked so forward to class, my away time. Then
it came to me, why not take something that gives me peace and that I enjoy and give that to others. I asked my
instructor about the training. I thought about the commitment and time it would take, it only took about a week for
me to mull it over, and jumped in, head first. I quit my job as an office manager and started my training the next
week. The training itself was a journey,physically and emotionally, but I had been told nothing comes easy. I met
some great people in the training, each had different expectations that we would get from the training, and I think
we came away with more than we thought. I am looking forward to where yoga may take me, or where I may go
and take yoga with me.

Yoga has been a study of mine for most of my life. What started out as an eccentric, yet enlightened high school
basketball coach turned into a life-long passion for the pursuit and knowledge of one of the world's oldest
practices still in existence. In the fall of 2007 I received my certification in Hatha & Solar Yoga and officially
joined the list of thousands of yoga instructors all over the world through the parent organization Yoga Alliance.
Along with passing on the love and knowledge of yoga as an instructor, I continue to attend workshops in and
around Texas to further my own knowledge of yoga.

I've been a yoga practitioner for 8 years and an instructor for 6. My early yoga practice was based on the Iyengar
method and has continued to be a strong influence. I studied with Ganga White and Tracy Rich at The White
Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara California where I received my 200 hour certificaion. I've also received a
teachers certification from Judith Hanson Lasater in restorative yoga. Through the last 8 years I have attended
workshops and classes with Judith Hanson Lasater, Peggy Kelley, Bekir Algan, Erich Schiffman, Donna Farhi,
Desiree Rumbaguh, Christina Sell and many others. I enjoy organizing workshops, hosting the guest instructor
and bringing them to the Corpus Christi area for all yogis to experience different styles of yoga. I continue to
travel to various places to attend worshops and teacher trainings. I love expanding my horizons in this wonderful
world of yoga.
