When I was sixteen years-old, a friend of mine asked me to accompany her to an LPY Yoga Class. I was hesitant, I'd never done yoga and wasn’t sure what to expect. What I discovered was something special: a community. After taking yoga for several months, I decided to try a barre class and the rest is history. Eight years and two teacher trainings later, I could not be more excited to join the Lexington Power Barre team.

Over the last eight years, my relationship with exercise has changed drastically. Having been an athlete growing up, I quickly learned in my adult life that developing a sustainable and healthy relationship between the mind and body is challenging. For me, this was the magic of barre and yoga. The two compliment each other and as a registered yoga and barre instructor, I love how LPY Yoga has reflections of both in their classes.

I am also a Masters of Social Work student and try

to foster a positive mindset in my classes and most importantly, make them fun!
