BLOG
Welcome to my Blog – the stories you’ll find here are inspired by learning, adventure, and years of soul-searching. Between countless hours of training, numerous certifications, and many meditation, yoga, and fitness classes, I am still learning. I may wear the hats of a yoga teacher, a swim coach, and whatever other instructor title I hold in a particular hour, but at my core, I am always and forever going to be a student. It is my humble wish that by sharing my knowledge, I can inspire vitality and resilience, guiding you towards a healthier, happier existence.
