I have been a competitive triathlete for the last decade, racing all distances from Sprint, Olympic, Half and full Iron Man.  The last two years I have also added multi-day trail running races to my schedule that have taken me to such far-flung places as Panama, Costa Rica, and Patagonia.  Most recently I returned from a 120 mile, 6 day, high altitude, trail running race in Colorado.  I get my biggest thrill in challenging my body and mind to do new things through competitive sports.  I turned to yoga about 5 years ago to improve my flexibility and develop the mental stamina that is needed during so many of my races.  After experimenting with many different styles of Yoga I decided to become a certified Yoga instructor in order to teach others about the wonderful benefits Yoga can have for the competitive athlete.  My style of Yoga fluctuates between individual strength poses and Vinyassa Flow movements in order to achieve maximum benefits for the body and mind of an athlete.   I place special emphasis on building a strong foundation starting with the feet and building through the hamstrings, core muscles, back and shoulders in order for the body to move efficiently and effortlessly regardless of the special challenges we throw at it!!
