I describe myself as a lover of life, travel, art, education, international cuisine, fine wines, outdoor adventures, and deep human connection.

I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter, student of life, yoga teacher, healer, nonprofit director, and serial yoga-lifestyle entrepreneur.

Yoga has been an integral part of my life since I stepped on my first yoga mat in 2001. If anyone was asked to describe me, I am certain yoga teacher is at the top of the list!

Yoga is my lifestyle. The practice of yoga is so engrained in my being that I don’t list it as a characteristic. It is simply a part of who I am. My yoga practice is a part of every experience and relationship I have.

I believe in spiritual transformation as a result of learning from teachers with universal wisdom and living life through the ethical practices of yoga.

I believe in the healing power of non-judgement, breath work, physical movement, compassion, art, nature, a good meal, the awe & wonder from traveling the world, and diverse, meaningful human relationships.

I believe in living the Life of a Lifetime! Hyppie Life is my creative “child” to lead others to living a life with a revitalized soul through a yoga lifestyle. I lead live stream yoga classes, global travel experiences, and an online store that provide access to the beauty and awe within each of us.

I also own and operate Blank Canvas Yoga, BCY, in Fayetteville, AR. BCY is my venture to share the physical, spiritual, and mental wellbeing aspects of a yoga practice. I teach 1:1 in-person sessions in my private studio located in the downtown square. I also lead my 200- and 300-hour teacher trainings at this location and via live stream.

In addition, I am the director of Mindfulness Connection (501c3). Mindfulness Connection is the culmination of my yoga background, passion for advocacy, and MPS from the Clinton School of Public Service. Our mission is to improve health outcomes through equitable access to mindfulness-based yoga programs. All of our mindfulness-based yoga programs are grounded in academic research and aimed at solving community health problems.
