About Me!

I have always been drawn to the freedom and healing qualities of being out on the water. Throughout my life, I had a deep desire to share these precious gifts with others but wasn’t quite sure how, until I took my first SUP yoga class! My first time practicing yoga on a paddle board was magical, combining my two passions was a match made in heaven. As time went on it was only natural for me to expand my yoga teaching by attending a SUP Yoga Teacher Training in Miami, Florida. As soon as I returned home I couldn’t wait to share all of the knowledge and bliss with the community. I truly love offering classes and trainings on the water and love encouraging, inspiring and empowering people to deepen their connection to themselves and nature. I designed this program for everyone, not just yoga teachers. My goal was to create a program that will help students build their knowledge and confidence on the water.
