I have an early background in dance and gymnastics, but by my mid-twenties I had completely fallen out of love with exercise. Several years later, at the encouragement of my best friend and experienced yogi, I stepped onto a mat for my first studio class. I was simply looking for a gentle way to move again, but what I found was so much more.

Not long after that first class, yoga became my therapy, my quiet place, and my way to breathe through the hardest days as my sister faced her battle with a brain tumor. After she passed, it became the safe space where I could process my grief and slowly find my way out of the darkness.

Again, with encouragement from my best friend, I took the leap to deepen my practice by becoming a yoga teacher. Through comprehensive training, many hours of teaching, and dedicated study, I became a Yoga Alliance–registered yoga teacher. While I’m trained to teach a wide variety of class styles, my sweet spot is the class that allows for gentle to moderate movement with a focus on deep stretch, strength building, and grounding relaxation.

I may not fit the stereotype of the super-thin, super-fit yoga teacher—but that’s exactly why I created Rolling Om Yoga Studio. Yoga isn’t about looking a certain way or fitting a mold. It’s about how you feel, how you breathe, and how you show up for yourself again and again. It creates space for something deeper—something that can be great for the mind, great for the body, and priceless for the soul.

Rolling Om was created for anyone who has ever felt intimidated by a studio or unsure if they belong in a yoga class. My goal is to bring yoga to you—in comfortable, familiar spaces—so you can experience it in a way that feels natural, welcoming, and accessible.

Yoga has a way of meeting you exactly where you are, at the exact time you need it, in the exact way you need it. Whether you are new to yoga, a seasoned yogi, or simply curious, I want Rolling Om to meet you at that place on your journey.
