I began practicing yoga over five years ago to complement my marathon training. I have completed 7 marathons including the Vermont City Marathon, the Chicago Marathon and the Boston Marathon. I PR’d at the Boston Marathon after two weeks of intensive training for my yoga certification….all that yoga helped me PR!
I decided to become a yoga teacher to help athletes of all ages remain injury free and excel at their sport.I am also a running coach for Fleet Feet and have trained runner’s for half marathons and marathons.
I am trained as a Kripalu yoga teacher. Kripalu yoga emphasizes the practitioner’s own personal experience and doesn’t force the body into any ideal shape. My yoga classes focus on areas where athletes (and all of us!) tend to be tightest- the hips, hamstrings, glutes and calves! I also focus on strengthening all parts of the body.
I have three children: Luke (17), Sam (14) and Zoe (8). My daughter Zoe is in a wheelchair and extremely disabled. In 2009, I founded a race to raise money for families to remodel their homes around accessibility. This has been such a rewarding endeavor and I am so happy to be able to help improve the quality of life for families like ours.
