I began my journey in to the practice of Yoga in 2016, and soon after completed a 200-hour training program with YogaBuzz based out of St. Louis, MO. The YogaBuzz Training Program has a major emphasis on being trauma-informed, and taught me how to serve students in that manner. After completion of my required course, I founded Lotus Yoga, where I taught at various locations in the Southern Illinois area. In 2021 we opened our doors to our studio where we welcome all bodies to practice Yoga. Lotus Yoga was born on the concept that YOGA can be for every body and every ability. It can be accessible, it can be altered/modified, and it can be fun. This is the foundation on which I, along with the incredible teaching staff at Lotus Yoga, are building for our community of Yogis and those alike. We truly hope that we can serve as many humans and their physical and mental needs as we can at our studio.In 2022 I completed training with Accessible Yoga, and also have opened my schedule for guiding classes off-site at local retirement communities, nursing homes, schools, and various other locations in the area. We offer group and individual private sessions at the studio, as well as off-site sessions for individuals or groups.
