I discovered Bikram Yoga in the winter of 1998. Living in Seattle with the gray skies, it was the perfect fit. As a part-time school teacher, stay at home mom, high strung and stressed out it was exactly what I needed. I loved Bikram Yoga from the start. Being a runner, hiker, biker and gym rat I thought I had done it all. Bikram yoga was more than I ever expected. After class I was exhausted, soaking wet, energized, relaxed, and excited all at the same time. I was hooked! I have been a zealous practitioner ever since.
Having had neck pain, back pain, stress and fatigue, Bikram yoga has helped me take control of my own health and wellbeing. It continues to provide a centering, calming and healing presence in my life. I really am a better person, inside and out, when I practice my yoga.
After my first year, I could see and feel the benefits. I told my husband, I want to be a Bikram Yoga instructor. 10 years later my goal was realized! I attended Bikram’s Yoga College of India teacher training fall 2008 in Acapulco, Mexico. I continue my love of the practice. I am enjoying every chance to teach and share my enthusiasm for Bikram yoga with others. My goal is to teach with love and compassion, to connect with my students, to challenge them, to help them learn more about themselves, and to assist them in discovering what is possible.
When I am not teaching or practicing yoga, I will most likely be driving my younger son Brock to hockey, trying to keep tabs on my social older son Alec, or traveling with my husband Dave (who is also a dedicated practitioner of Bikram yoga). I love my family, life, and the peace that yoga brings to me.
