Background

I first started practicing yoga on and off over 20 years ago, lying down in the floor trying to do breathing exercises I had read about, with Mom’s Enya cd playing in the background. During college, the campus gym had a great yoga class that I went to every week until that teacher moved out of state. I found different classes in different gyms on and off over time, including a year or so at a great little studio called Yoga Pilates Sculpt. I bought a yoga video or two. I spent the most class time at Southern Star Yoga Center in Oxford, Mississippi. My practice became more and more consistent over time at Southern Star, and in 2017 I completed RYS 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training there.

My yoga practice, both in studio classes and at home, has seen me through half-marathon training, healing the low back injury that popped up after that race, healing my spirit over and over during an 8-year legal career, a parent’s death, a friend/mentor’s death, a divorce. I’ll talk more as I go along about the many particular instances in which yoga has gotten me through. But for now, I only want to emphasize that my relationship with yoga has been long-term, and rewarding at a depth that is hard to describe. In fact, I recommend you don’t listen to my or anyone else’s experience with yoga too closely, and instead begin your own practice and FEEL for your Self!

I teach seven regular yoga classes per week–at Goose Creek Club in Oxford, MS; Pontotoc Wellness Center in Pontotoc, MS; and The University of Mississippi Law Library in Oxford, MS. If you are interested in trying a class at any of these locations, please contact them directly, or comment for info on how to register/attend.
