A decade ago, I took my first Nia class. At the time, I had no idea of what it was I was doing—or even what Nia was—but, what I did know was that I never wanted the feeling I had—inside— to go away. I soon realized that I never wanted Nia to NOT be a part of my life. And, so I began to travel down one of the most unexpected, delightful, rich, full-filling and yes, JoyFul journeys of my life. As a Nia student, as a Nia teacher.

I began my Nia professional training in 1999, and obtained my Nia Black Belt with Nia co-founders, Debbie Rosas & Carlos Rosas in July, 2006. I bring to each class, my enthusiastic energy, innovative creativity and extreme Joy for the opportunity to share the work and practice of Nia. Come move with me, and expect your body to sweat and your soul to soar in every class, as you celebrate your healthy body and life!

When not teaching Nia, I am also a Mom, a friend, a yoga practictioner & teacher (Elemental Yoga, 500-hr certified, specializing in yoga therapeutics), a graphic designer (www.Indigofirecreative.com) and latte lover.

I am currently enrolled in the Nia Next Generation Trainers program and look forward to one day fullfilling my Nia dream of becoming a Nia Trainer.
