Personal History: I grew up in Pocatello, Idaho and was always active hiking, skiing, playing tennis and dancing. I moved to New York to study theater at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and discovered yoga for the first time. I became certified to teach yoga and received my ACE and AFFA certifications and started teaching at the local gyms in Manhattan to support my acting career. A few years later, I was certified to teach Pilates as well, and my love for fitness took over. I now love to share my fitness through my acting expertise and make it fun and entertaining for my students so they can fall in love with it and make it a part of their daily lives. I met my fiancé through one of my yoga students who set us up.

Workout Philosophy: Everything you could possibly ever want , have, or need, is right here inside of you. Once you find that inner strength, you will want to work out to feel the very best you can. No one can work out for you, you have to do it yourself. With the right tools and the right motivations -- both internal and external, you will find you become so powerful in so many ways. when you move and challenge your body you also grow in mind and spirit.

Success Story: Louise in London, England. She and her husband were visiting NY and they took my yoga class at a Crunch and fell in love with it. Once they moved back to England, they took all my DVDs with them and they continue to work out to them daily. Ian, Louises' husband, had me film a new workout for Louise as a personal DVD for her for her birthday. They have finally discovered something they love to do together and something they can do on any rainy day in England. We're working on getting Skype figured out so I can continue to give her new routines.
