YOGA TEACHER
RYT200

After being a student of yoga for over 20 years, last year I took the leap and decided to enroll in the 200-HR. teacher training at Temple Yoga in Reno.

While my teaching practice is in its early stages, I look forward to offering an inviting and safe space for students of all levels that will allow us to explore all the amazing benefits of a yoga practice, together! I was born and raised in South Texas and moved to Los Angeles in 2009. In 2016, after a few summer vacations in Lake Tahoe, I decided to move closer to what I believe is one of the most beautiful and magical places on earth. When I'm not at my 9-5 or practicing yoga, I am either exploring the lake or searching for treasures at thrift stores.
