In my 20s and 30s I had a career in tech, working for Google for 12 years. While still working in tech, I started teaching yoga in 2015. It took me a few more years to eventually make the leap, but I now teach and coach full-time. As a runner, I bring a lot of personal knowledge to my coaching practice. I hold a UESCA running coach certification, a Yoga Alliance-registered yoga teaching certification, and have pursued continuing education in strength, anatomy, and women’s health.
Every single body is unique, everyone’s life is different and your training needs to fit with your body and into your life.
I approach each client as an individual, create an athlete profile, and build dynamic plans to fit with your life.
MY THREE PRINCIPLES:
STAY CURIOUS.
You are capable of more than you realize. Go into each session with curiosity and ignore all those self-imposed limits.
DO THE THING.
Big wins don’t happen in a day, they happen after weeks, months, and years of doing the thing. Keep the commitment to yourself by showing up and doing what you can. Even 10 mins counts.
PRACTICE COMPASSION.
Life happens and not every workout is going to be strong. Give yourself the same compassion you would give someone else.
