WHY DID YOU BECOME A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR?

When I realized that my life revolved around yoga, I knew it was time to take a Yoga Teacher Training. All my new adult friends were from yoga, all I wanted to do was talk about yoga, and my days revolved around when I could get to a class. The universe was pointing me in the direction I needed to move in, and I followed.

Eight years after my first Teacher Training and I am still in a career that continually challenges me, fills me up spiritually, and allows me to give back to my community in a positive way.

FAVORITE GO-TO PUMP UP SONG?

Heartbeat – Childish Gambino

FIRST GROUP FITNESS CLASS?

I took a bikram yoga class with my mom back when I was in high school, left halfway through, and didn’t get back to a yoga mat until I was 21.

FAVORITE MOVIE?

A Bronx Tale

FIRST JOB?

I was a lifeguard at a country club for several summers in high school.

HOMETOWN?

I was born in Michigan, but moved to Boxford, MA at 13 for high school.

FAVORITE JUNK FOOD?

Baked goods – cookies, brownies, you name it.

FAVORITE RESTAURANT?

Yvonnes! If you haven’t been, you are missing out on an incredible dining experience.

GO-TO WEEKDAY MEAL?

I don’t know why it has taken me so long to make spaghetti squash but I cannot get enough of it right now!

PERFECT SUNDAY AFTERNOON?

Going to a public yoga class (such a luxury as a parent), followed by a long walk with my husband and daughter, and an early dinner. I’m embarrassed to say that we like to eat at 4 or 5 if we can:) Earlybird special right here!

FAVORITE WORKOUT GEAR?

lululemon high waisted leggings, Spiritual Gangster tank tops, Athleta sports bras.

WON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT?

I’m obsessed with my S’well water bottle. It keeps things cold or hot for so long!

GUILTY PLEASURE?

A glass of wine & BRAVO TV

FAVORITE PLACE TO SWEAT WHEN YOU AREN’T TEACHING?

Renee LeBlanc’s yoga class. If you practice yoga and haven’t taken her class, I highly recommend checking it out! She is well-trained, well-practiced, and pretty funny!

IN TEN YEARS I WILL BE _____?

Personally: hopefully my family will be healthy and happy and we will be blessed with another child or two. Professionally: my goal is to just keep doing what I’m doing, to continue to be a student of Yoga, and to offer what I’ve learned to the public.

TIMES A DAY YOU CHECK SOCIAL MEDIA?

Too often

HAVE TOO MUCH OF?

Clothing

MORE ESSENTIAL: WATER OR COFFEE?

Water

FAVORITE VACATION SPOT?

Anywhere with my family. I have 6 brothers and sisters as well as 4 step-siblings. We are spread out all over the country so any time we can get together is the perfect vacation.

GETS YOU OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING?

Hearing my daughter chatting to herself

CELEBRITY YOU’D MOST LIKE TO MEET?

Radhanath Swami

WHO INSPIRES YOU?

My daughter. As parents, we have this huge responsibility of molding a child into a person with good character and strong morals. I have to lead by example, which means really watching my words and actions and making sure they come from a kind and loving place.
