200-hr ryt
I found yoga in the late spring of 2021 after searching for a fitness routine that would not only train my body but provide me mental clarity as well. I had previously enjoyed many other group fitness classes and even spent time in the gym on my own, but never found a fitness routine that left me feeling satisfied yet challenged. After my first class at Baptiste Power Yoga Oxford, I knew that the search was over and that I had discovered a space where I could be challenged and supported both mentally and physically.
After practicing for a few months, and falling absolutely in love with the benefits yoga had brought me, I decided to elevate my understanding of my practice by going through 200-hour teacher training in January of 2022. Teacher training taught me more about myself than I ever thought possible and it is my absolute joy to share that passion and understanding through my teaching style. My goal is to guide students through not only a physically invigorating class, but also to foster mindfulness through breath work and, in turn, uncovering the strength to face life’s challenges.
I have lived in Oxford for 5 years and recently completed my MBA. When I’m not in the studio practicing or teaching, I enjoy playing tennis and going on walks with my partner, Drew, and our dogs Memphis and Alys. I look forward to seeing you on your mat!
