I came to Bohemian Studios as a student in 2015. I can't say I rocked it right out of the gate, but something clicked and kept me coming back. I quickly realized that "something" was the sense of belonging that the teachers all worked so hard to create. The Bohemian community became my space to both decompress and recharge. It's a place to engage, to be supported and to support others. Last Fall I challenged myself and completed the Bohemian teacher certification training. I’m overjoyed to join the team that has supported me on my journey to empowerment <3

I love music and I love to move and explore both strength and softness. A good song makes me want to expand my body; arms out wide, heart open, melting into the air…becoming tiny, floating musical particles. A good barre class grounds me on my mat and creates an acute awareness of what EACH.AND.EVERY.ONE. of my human particles is actually doing! This combination of musical and physical forces combining to move and strengthen the body and mind expands my heart, fuels my growth and fills me with passion. This is what I want to share through teaching!

Whether on the instructor or student mat, I plan a long future with barre. I believe this practice is for everyone. There will be days we show up, days we are extra, days we cheer and days we extend compassion. It's a journey, not a destination, and I am living proof! I'll see you on a mat soon friends!
