Eat Laugh Love Sweat Yoga & Fitness

I've always been drawn to movement and mindfulness, and completed my AFLCA group fitness leadership certification in 2011.  I quickly realized that doing “the grapevine” across a pink and teal step riser in time to music was NOT my jam, and gravitated more toward strength training and yoga instead.  In 2012, I completed my 200hr yoga teacher training with YogaWorks, and began sharing yoga in small-town gymnasiums, community centres, and high school classrooms.  It seemed a natural fit for me to continue my yoga education throughout 2015 and 2016 with Empowered Yoga's 500hr certification; during that program, I trained in courses such as pre and post-natal yoga, yoga for athletes, meditation and philosophy, yoga for kids, restorative yoga, and yoga nidra, and I seek out more learning whenever possible.

In addition to the yoga gig, I'm a wife, a Mama to two feisty little girls, a dog-Mom, and a Junior/Senior High School English Language Arts teacher, who is just trying to find some humour in the chaos.  Exercise and endorphins make me happy, so I spend a lot of time running, playing slopitch, golfing, and just being active whenever I can.  I truly believe that integrity is paramount, that lifting up those with less privilege is the way forward, that most people are doing their best, so we should give the benefit of the doubt, and the most important rule is “don't be an asshole.”  You can find me on social media through #EatLaughLoveSweat

I'll see you on your mat!
