My mom introduced me to yoga when I was a teenager, but it wasn't until I found Inner Fire Yoga that I began to take yoga seriously. I was so inspired by the passionate, talented teachers and students here that I decided to enroll in our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program in 2017. This decision changed the course of my life.

"There's nothing quite like coming to the end of a class, leaving a roomful of yogis in a state of pure bliss."

I have been teaching at Inner Fire Yoga since January of 2018. It has given my life so much meaning and is a constant source of joy. It's an honor to be able to create that space for students, as so many of my wonderful teachers have created for me.

I've served in a number of roles at Inner Fire Yoga, beginning as a Receptionist in 2016, then moving through the roles of Assistant Manager, Studio Manager, Marketing Manager, Director of Marketing and Operations, and now the Owner of the East side studio. These studios are not just a livelihood for me — they're places of connection, community, heat, and friendship. Inner Fire Yoga's core values and the people who make it what it is are now deeply ingrained in who I am and how I move through the world.

In my classes I try to offer a warm, safe environment for each student to receive whatever they need that day from their practice. I emphasize alignment, mindfulness, and above all, breath. Breathwork has gotten me through some truly tough times in my life, and I believe it to be the most powerful tool we have as students of yoga. My wish is that each student may use the tools we develop through a yoga practice to realize the power that exists within them, and that they use that power to do good in the world.

While yoga is my career focus and passion, I have many other interests! I was born in Madison, but was raised as a Yooper in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I love the outdoors and being by the water — Lake Superior calls to me every day. I enjoy good food, craft brews, superhero movies, and nerdy games like Magic the Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. I also love to sing and play lots of musical instruments (but not often enough). I live in Madison, Wisconsin with my husband and three dogs.
