YOGA
Years Teaching: 1.5 years

Teaching Philosophy:
My teaching philosophy is to meet people where they are at and guide them to where they could or want to be. Making sure I am clear and concise with different cues/demos/analogys to meet a wide range of folks. Getting folks into ideal positions to help them express the appropriate intentions though movement.
My goal is to have folks excited to practice before class even starts, feel good in there body during class, (maybe a few giggles), and be the best part of there day regardless of what is going on with mine.
Motivation to be part of YTT:
I was motivated to be party of YTT because I love educating and teaching others in the industry regardless of what aspect. Teaching others helps me sharpen my practice and in tern I end up learning as well. I am 100% about teachers/coaches developing there own style while delivering education from various schools of thought I have amalgamated over the years.
Other Skills I Bring to Your Training:
Beyond my yoga certification, I have over a decade of coaching experience in various formats. My formal education is a bachelors of science in kinesiology, I also hold my CSCS, RKCII, CFSCII, FRCms, KBCU, and Onnit KB certifications. Educating and mentoring others in the fitness industry is another passion of mine be it in; one on one settings, large group presentations, workshops, or certifications. I run my own personal training business as well as online programming business while teaching several formats in group fitness settings.
I spend lots of time, money, and energy every year on getting better as a teacher/coach to make sure I keep developing and give the best to those I have the privilage of working with.
