How long have you been teaching Yoga & Pilates ? For about 4 years!

How did you first get into Yoga & Pilates ?  I always practiced Yoga as a way of dealing with certain challenges I was facing during my life and found it helped aid my mental health and mindset so much I wanted to help others the way it helped me. 

I first began Pilates as a way to strengthen my core for my yoga practice and found there was an energy I connected to where I could express a more expansive side of myself and wanted to teach it to show my whole personality.

Yoga - wheel pose
