Set Yourself Free Through Movement
Meet the Teacher
A little something about me: I turned to yoga for a way to channel stress and reduce some less than ideal mental health symptoms. Little did I know the healing effects and transformations that occurred once I started tuning into the body, mind, and soul. Through proper breathing techniques, intentional healing, and body movement, you can find calm in the storm.

What does "Free Range" Yoga mean?
Free Range Yoga is all about joint safety as well as mobility, mindful breathing techniques, juicy flowing Vinyasa, and some fun on the yoga mat.
I am drawn to helping people find their path towards inner light, healing, and just straight up feeling good. I started my journey toward wellness and yoga for my own healing purposes. Through my journey, I discovered my path for wanting to share what I learned with others. My goal is to leave you with a sense of grounding, ease, and overall well-being. I encourage props and modifications for injuries or body structure. You can live in the moment at any age, any time, and any place to help build a better world. One person at a time.
There is only one rule, you cannot be perfect to attend my classes, privates sessions, or workshops. Can’t wait to see you on the mat!
