my story

Hi, I’m Mindy! I found yoga during a pivotal time in my life, my final semester in college. It was a stressful time in my life - juggling a heavy class load, familial expectations and plans after graduation. Growing up, I was extremely active {through track, swim & tennis} but lost my drive for competitive sports. When I found yoga, it was the only form of movement that could quiet my mind and allow me to feel at peace. I knew that this practice was changing my life… 

After graduating college with a degree in Sports Medicine, I completed teacher training and dove deeper into my yoga practice. I believe that yoga is the perfect way to evolve the mind and body simultaneously. In class, I often like to say, “the posture {asana} never ends”. This idea encourages my students to stay connected and have new experiences within familiar spaces; we are all constantly learning and growing. As a life-long student, I have immersed myself in several additional yoga trainings and earned my life coaching certification.

Off the mat, I enjoy cooking, hiking, biking, traveling, spending time in the ocean/mountains and playing with clay. Yoga is truly alive in all areas of my life. My mission is to hold space for every student to experience the physical and mental benefits when they leave their mat.
