What was the experience of your 1st Baptiste class?

The experience of my first yoga class was life changing. I experienced a mind body connection unlike anything I have experienced before, and I instantly knew baptiste yoga was for me. Since then, I have been dedicated to deepening my practice, and I aspire to teach.

Why do you Practice Baptiste Yoga?

I practice Baptiste Yoga because it has presented many benefits on and off the mat. Anxiety and depression is something I always struggled with, and until I found yoga I never knew how to deal with my anxiety. I find myself leading a healthier lifestyle due to yoga, and I am putting into practice being up to something bigger than myself.

Why do you teach Baptiste Yoga?

I do not currently teach yoga, but I am an aspiring teacher and will begin my road to certification in February. I have always had a passion for teaching and would love to continue that with yoga. I am an elementary special education  teacher, so I have an interest teaching kids yoga, and currently do yoga with my students at school every day.

My promise ?

My promise is to continue learning and become the best teacher I can be. I will constantly find ways to go above and beyond to best serve BPYG and my community.

My favorite quote right now is: “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.“
