In 1995, I began the study of Yoga seriously under the tutelage of Dr. Loretta Armer in Tallahassee, Florida. This led me into deeper studies and an intensive nine-month instructor training program under her mentorship, During this time, I taught classes at places ranging from Border's Bookstore to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Rehabilitation Center.

I've become more knowledgeable and skilled in my yoga practice through my studies with some of the best teachers in North America. Among those who have enhanced my yoga practice are

Neschalia Joy Devi, yoga practitioner, California.

She works with cancer and heart patients in Dr. Dean Cornish's Center, helping patients with stress management, breathing, and body-mind awareness.

John Friend, developer of Anasura yoga, an Iyengar based approach,

Monica Voss, Toronto, Canada. She was a student of Vanda Scaravelli's, author of "Awakening the Spine". Vanda Scaravelli was a private student of B.K.S. Iyengar.

Bob Smith Seattle, Washington. An amazing Yogi and teacher.

In 2003, I was certified by Yoga Alliance, a national board that insures that teachers are versed in postures, breathwork, anatomy, meditation, philosophy, and teaching techniques.

I continue to study in Tampa with the Florida Institute for Integrated Yoga Studies, Dr. Maggie McClain. Presently I am working and studying with Vera Orlock in Body, Mind, Centering, an approached developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. In Spring, 2004, I participated in an intensive yoga workshop in Tuscany, Italy.
