For over 30 years, my guiding purpose has been to educate, inspire and encourage others towards a life full of good health and happiness – I am SO blessed!!
My journey with all things yoga began in the late ’90s when I found myself falling apart physically from “too much”. Too much running, jumping, pounding my body with western fitness. I was a personal trainer and loved my career but my body was in need of something different.
Mentally and emotionally I was feeling broken from an infertility 3 ring circus. A very personal journey with the practice and philosophy of yoga helped me arrive at peace with the fact that I was whole without a child. It taught me that I am blessed, not broken and I began to love myself again.
In 2000, I opened Fusion Yoga Studio in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and am incredibly blessed to serve a devoted community of faithful yogis. It’s an honor and a true blessing to share the journey with my students and I am devoted to continuously learning, sharing, and radiating knowledge for all to utilize and enjoy.
My students and stellar teachers have taught me so much and have inspired me to be a better teacher and person. In 2020, when the world flipped upside down, I closed my physical studio and embraced the unknown in order to birth a new chapter in my life. Providing a virtual landing place for like-minded, kindred spirits to gather and continue to walk the path of growth and evolution together.
I am excited… thrilled… overjoyed to be in creation mode again – it’s my happy place!
My deep passion is to humbly serve seekers of yoga, meditation, and creative expression by sharing and imparting the teachings as a way to explore, heal, and deeply reconnect with our bodies, minds, and spirits. Through the practices of moving, creating and meditating, we are provided a means to begin to awaken more fully to daily experiences, internal wisdom, and our highest possibilities. As a deeply intuitive artist who believes wholeheartedly in the inherent capability we ALL possess to create, I’m passionate about sharing my vision and supporting all in manifesting their voice through movement, art and meditation.
The hope for each student is that they experience a journey that goes beyond the body and pierces deeply into the heart. My teaching is influenced by alignment-based yoga and the associated philosophy, pranayama, meditation, pilates, dance, strength building, creativity, my inner wild child, and my life’s experiences.
I’ve fully embraced the opportunity to share knowledge, wisdom, & creativity! The online yoga practice platform, meditation course, and creative workshops are currently broadcasting from my home yoga studio and art studio. All this creative expression and support for wellness has been brought forth through much education and life experience……
I extend deep gratitude to all the wonderful teachers that have crossed my path and encouraged and inspired me to see the beauty and live yoga & life fully. Inga Baugh, Lilias Folan, John Friend, Desiree Rumbaugh, Moses Brown, Ross Rayburn, Amy Ippoliti, Betsey Downing, Suzy Hurley, Martin Kirk, Rodney Yee, Sarah McLean, Deepak Chopra, my loving Mother, Evelyn
