I've Started Subbing at TruFusion
Joint Fusion Surgery 8/6/25
9/24 Update on Right Foot MTP Joint Fusion Surgery
I got the all-clear early from my podiatrist and have started training and taking class to get back at it! This was the first time I've been forced to spend a month+ on my butt. I couldn't drive or put any weight on my right foot. There was/ is atrophy, stiffness and imbalance all the way up my right leg and hip. I have newfound empathy for anyone undergoing an operation that strictly limits movement.
I healed quickly and am in the process of recovering my pre-surgery level of fitness. It's a weird thing to re-learn how to move on and around a fused ball-of-foot joint but not disqualifying. At some point all of us will have limitations. The real yoga is a mindset of acceptance and curiosity for whatever the universe throws at us.
Happy to report I will start subbing at TruFusion on 10/2. Look for me filling in at Ballard, UV and Bellevue. I teach Hatha and Power Vinyasa Yoga, Mat and HIIT Pilates and Barre.

I began my 300-hour yoga teacher training program in April 2025 with Carling Harps' Mobility Meets Asana. I am enrolled in Awakening Yoga Academy's 300-hour program under the guidance of Carling Harps and Patrick Beach and hope to complete by mid-2026. It's a big project!
I am studying the following modules to further my yoga teaching skills: AYA's Vinyasa Immersion (Full Solar + Set series and philosophy), Anatomy, Advanced Asana, Effective Sequencing, Meditation & Breath Work, Restore & Recover and Prenatal Yoga.

I am a 2023 graduate of TruFusion's 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher training program. Having practiced for ten years, it was a natural step in deepening my practice while learning how to effectively teach and support others. Yoga offers benefits well beyond the physical-- it's a laboratory for mindfulness.
I teach Hatha Yoga and Power Vinyasa Yoga as well as Pilates and Barre. Ask about private sessions! My full attention in a 1:1 setting is the best way to refine your postures and flow and learn new skills.
