I’d been practicing yoga on and off for years, but never full committed to a practice until I took my first Bikram yoga class while attending grad school. After my first class, I couldn’t believe it was possible to feel so good naturally! I replaced all my self-destructive addictions with a healthy addiction to a regular yoga practice. After finishing my Master of Arts degree in English lit, I did a 180 degree turn and went from academia to Bikram Yoga teacher training in Acapulco in 2008. After two years of living, breathing and dreaming of nothing but yoga, I opened Bikram Yoga Red Deer in 2010 with my husband Josh and our 6 week old son, Arjuna. After receiving a lot of conflicting information about practicing yoga during my first pregnancy, I went to the source and studied the Pregnancy series with Rajashree Choudhury at Kripalu, practiced throughout 2 more healthy pregnancies, and created a Pregnancy Yoga poster that is featured on Rajashree’s website and used in studios worldwide. Ready for a change, and to test our belief in non-attachment, in 2015 Josh and I decided to sell our successful yoga studio, house, and all our belongings to travel the world with our kids and teach yoga on the road. We moved into an overland RV and have been driving from studio to studio throughout Canada, USA and Mexico teaching yoga, doing seminars, and business coaching as the Nomad Yoga Family. We strive to apply our yoga principles to everyday life through travel by living simply, being in nature, and staying flexible in all situations!
