Prenatal yoga is designed to support mama and baby mentally, spiritually and physically throughout the entire pregnancy, birth and early life as a new family.  My Journey in Yoga began in 2001 and  amplified in 2008 with Vinyasa and Bikram.  In 2011 my prenatal yoga journey started with my first child.  The type of prenatal yoga I was taking is incredibly nurturing, transforming and a perfect preparation for birth. I practiced this with all 3 of my pregnancies and now my 4th.   I accomplished TT in prenatal yoga and Ayurveda in Santa Barbara Ca.  2015 I began my 200 shortly followed by 300 HR TT in Portland Or.  I opened my own studio in 2016.  I guided classes and workshops in Portland At YOYOYOGI as well as my studio in a neighboring town.  I then added retreats to Zion Utah and Costa Rica each year.  Gurmukh Khalsa and Wah Khalsa (mother/daughter) came into my life and I began Prenatal Yoga TT again in an extremely transformative space.  I've had her book Beautiful Bountiful Blissful since 2011 and was honored to learn from the source of Khalsa Way Yoga. Shiva Rae is another teacher I have spent years learning from. Yoga is a lifestyle of mine and I am so thankful it found me. Instantly I knew I would be sharing the powerful practices of yoga for the rest of my life in different capacities, Khalsa Way Prenatal Yoga is one that I am incredibly passionate about that lends a deep connection to baby and mama as well as preparing the mind and the body for birth and motherhood.

As a true avid daily practitioner he takes pride and honors the opportunity to hold space and share knowledge with fellow yogis in his more active style of Vinyasa Flow classes.

I have lived in Lake Tahoe for 35 years. I am passionate about motivating individuals and groups in fitness activities. I started my own yoga journey in 2016 to compliment my other forms of excercise, to relieve my tension. and calm my mind. I love the way yoga makes my body feel, but also the way my mind feels clearer. I began teacher training in 2019 to "deepen my practice" and because I believe in the mind body connection yoga provides. I have been sharing yoga for the past 6 years. Please join me for a fun, but challenging journey on our mats.
