Biography

I took my first Kundalini Yoga class in the fall of 2002, right away I knew something was profoundly different about this style of yoga. It made me feel alive, balanced and happy. This class I stumbled upon turned out to be a new way of life I could commit to. In 2010 I completed my level one (200 hr.) KRI teacher training. In 2022 I completed level 2 (500hr.) journey.  I am currently working on my level 3 (1000 hr.) journey! I currently teach in SE Michigan, at "GVST Wellness", "Detroit Parks and Recs", "Neighborhood Club" and many other community locations.  Outside of the yoga studio I am a community art therapist ATR, dancer, outdoors enthusiast, artist, vegan and mother. My mission is to provide uplifting, community-based experiences in yoga, art, dance and nature. One of my favorite quotes is, "You owe it to yourself to be yourself". Sat Nam (our seed mantra) embodies honoring and respecting our true identity. Join me for an experience you must not miss!  https://www.miphoenixgardens.com/classes-workshops
