I grew up with a sense of adventure from day one. My parents and I often traveled and it became ingrained in me. After completing my master’s degree in communications at Murray State University in Kentucky, I moved to North Carolina and worked in the outdoor industry for twelve years. That was when I took a deep dive into yoga. I knew I needed to learn more so I left my job and traveled to India to become a teacher. On this quest of self, I met many teachers, lived in strange places (like a mid hut in the Himalayas), ate unknown food and discovered who I really am.

I realized the power of the breath first through yoga. With the combination of movement and breath we are able to slow our minds and tap into our body. The breath was then reintroduced to me in Austria in another form, and once again, I felt the calling to follow the path of discovery and healing. As with any invitation upon your lap, it is important to recognize it, so here I am now, teaching breath awareness and conscious connected breathing.

What can we expect from the talk?

Together, we will explore the breath through breath awareness and conscious breathing patterns.
