My yoga practice began 11 years ago as a must, not as a want. I was a typical “gym junkie” that never took time to stretch even though I knew I should. I was a competitive gymnast from the ages of 2-16 and when I retired from that I lost all my flexibility. I always felt so tight and misaligned that I decided I would make myself stretch in a yoga class once a week. I will be honest, I didn’t fall in love with yoga on day one. In fact I made my once a week class mandatory for a full body stretch but really didn’t buy into any other benefits that I always heard and read about yoga. I had a closed mind and simply went through the motions not wanting to learn or dive deeper into my practice. Luckily for me, I came across a fantastic teacher that opened my eyes. My simple...

“I feel like I started teaching yoga life times ago. Nothing in my life has flowed so smoothly, like I’ve simply remembered my passion. I am a soul who is playful, honest and real. I truly want to help the world be happy. I believe people are designed to love, smile and move. The Sanskrit word “Shri” means beauty. I hope to inspire others to ‘See the Shri’ in everything! Feb 2008, I broke my back in a snowboarding accident. Life came to a screeching halt. I instantly embraced my new reality. My community quickly came together with full support. The injury created space to reflect on my life’s path and really think about where I’m headed. To be honest, it was a really cool experience. The past two years have been a huge period of growth and transition for my spirit. I... Read the profile >>

Lotus Soul Gym & The Yoga Loft
My journey with yoga all started with a dare: "betcha can't ever do the splits!" and wow, I am eternally grateful to the person that challenged me! Not because I can now do the splits, but because my relationship with yoga continues to transform my life. I feel grateful to have completed my Ashtanga Vinyasa Training with Larry and Marie Schultz, and my Sattva training with Rameen Peyrow. The journey of yoga is different for everyone- people pave their own road with their own unique bodies, spirits and experiences. I believe this path is more beautiful and rewarding when yoga is involved. Yoga means "union", I love the unity that yoga brings to my life- on physical, mental, spiritual and inter-personal levels. We are all unique, yet yoga brings us together! I am grateful to... Read the profile >>
It’s not what you take but what you leave! The Improvement in quality of human life is where I’ve made my stand. As a personal trainer I’m able to positively change people’s lives, yet with limited hours each day I may only make a dent in the task I’ve chosen. Deciding to impact lives deeper than only one was my first mission. Educating an individual creates a conviction so strong that they bubble over with inspiration. Parents affect children, spouses affect each other, and others affect friends and co-workers. Although this was a form of reaching deeper, a greater opportunity must still be available. Instructing and certifying trainers would be an even more affective approach if they would aspire to also affect people deeper. Opening studios to create an environment to... Read the profile >>
