I love finding time to connect with nature. Walking, hiking, gardening, cooking or just sitting in the back
yard with my husband Roy and our dog Buddy. In addition to taking in the four seasons of Minnesota, I
enjoy exploring different climates – – Atlantic beaches, New Mexico scrub desert, Ireland hillsides – – wish
I could travel more than I do. Making connections with the world and people around me has become
more of a focus through my yoga and meditation practice. I first stepped on a yoga mat in 1998 out
of simple curiosity. After a few months of practice, I noticed subtle changes in my body, my breathing,
and my perspective and I was hooked! Over the years, my practice ebbed and flowed until it became
integrated into my daily life. My curiosity as a student as well as a teacher only expands as I explore
different forms of yoga and personal perspectives from fellow yogis – whether beginner or guru. Bring
your curiosity and your mat and come practice with me!
