Sun Peaks and Yoga have been a part of my life for over 30 yrs., so teaching yoga on the mountain is a natural fit. The physical practice of yoga came into my life in my early teens, when I was searching to relieve my back pain, while teaching snowboarding at Sun Peaks. Later on, I became interested in understanding how we hold energy in our bodies from physical and emotional trauma. In search of a deeper understanding of the layers of the body and mind, I enrolled in an intensive 500 hr. yoga teacher training with a strong emphasis on teaching beyond the physical practice. I design a yoga practice that helps move your energy, so you can find the balance and freedom within yourself!
