I earned my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate from Peachtree Yoga in Atlanta, GA. After teaching for a year, I then studied for my 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India. I spent the year prior to the pandemic training teachers in Bali, Indonesia. I am now furthering my teaching online to spread my passion for yoga, wellness and mindful living.
