Stepping into My Calling
I first fell in love with yoga in 2011. Soon after, I began leading group yoga in Slidell at Heritage Park. I felt the pull to deepen my practice and, in 2014, I finally took my first 200 hour Teacher Training at Shanti Yoga in New Orleans. Immediately after, I started an apprenticeship studying under Nathalie Croix. I assisted her in public classes, multiple Teacher Training’s, and even assisted her in a few sessions with the local NBA team. I eventually earned my 300 hour certification, for a total of 500 hours. After receiving my 500 hours, I went on to take several more yoga trainings and find it important to continue to do so.
The Birth of Soul Full Yoga
In 2017 I created Soul Full Yoga, which first started out as a yoga studio in New Orleans on the infamous Magazine Street. I ran the studio for about a year and a half when I decided to transform my yoga company into the mobile yoga company it is.
A week before Soul Full Yoga opened I was in a car accident where I injured my spine. This led to me finding the healing method of ELDOA. The experience has transformed not only my yoga practice, but my teachings as well.
My Method
I put a lot of emphasis on keeping correct anatomical alignment in each pose. Gravity is constantly pulling downward on us all day long creating compression throughout the entire body. For me, the main focus is to decompress and lengthen the entire spine. This will in turn, help us create more space for our organs promoting better health and overall well being. I often incorporate ELDOA stretches and warm ups in my sequences to keep your spine feeling healthy and happy!
I believe in adapting the yoga pose to the individual, rather than adapting the individual to the pose. There are many different modifications for each pose. This helps make the pose best fit your body and your needs.
Over the years I have worked with many people of all ages, shapes, and sizes with varying degrees of mobility – i.e. kids, adults, pregnant women, athletes, elders.
My Goal and Passions
My goal is to help create a healthy lifelong practice for each individual and show you how to do that. I strive to give you the best yoga experience you’ve ever had by shaping the practice to whats best for you. Through my teachings you will learn the 3 main elements in yoga to create a successful practice. These elements will transform your yoga practice into a meditation in motion. I put my heart and soul into delivering that experience.
My other passions are animals and plants. When I’m not practicing or studying yoga, I’m either spending my time spoiling my zoo at home (dog, cats, and turtles) or creating plant art for my Etsy shop, Soul Full Grows. I also share a love for meditation and find it to be an essential tool for finding peace in your heart and life.
