I found yoga during a time of deep personal change—it became a way to reconnect with myself.

What made me fall in love with it

Yoga didn’t just change my body—it grounded my mind and gave me a sense of inner stability I hadn’t felt before.

What I love about teaching yoga

Watching people shift—from tension to ease, from thinking to feeling. That transformation never gets old.

The classes I teach

Functional, trauma-aware flows, gentle, all-inclusive, focused on strength, mobility, and nervous system regulation—designed for real bodies in real lives.

Where to find me / what inspires me

I get inspired by travelling, social interactions with like-minded people. Often attending my colleagues’ classes, mindful movement , music, and the belief that healing happens through the body, as long as, you are willing to be present in it.

You can find me in The Woodlands Yoga Studio, The Woodlands Country Club and on social media:

🧘‍♀️ From Running on Empty to Running on Agency

I didn’t find yoga. Yoga found me—right when I needed it most.
I was in my early 40s, newly divorced, raising teenagers. My favorite modalities were running (literally), dance fitness, and trying to keep my head above water. I walked into a yoga class looking for the stretching, and walked out with:
✨ A body I finally understood
✨ A mind that could occasionally be quiet
✨ A community that welcomed my mess
The Teaching Plot Twist:
I took teacher training as a gift to myself, but when opportunities appeared, my marketing brain said “say yes & figure it out.” Now I teach 3 weekly classes in public schools, working mostly with faculty & staff. My focus: functional fitness, helping educators find safety, agency, and options in their own bodies.
At the Studio:
I’m your random midmorning-to-early-afternoon sub (Reasons: 1, Not nice before coffee. 2, Not nice after dinner. 3, Cats need me). I love this community—warm, real, inclusive. You’ll see me in class, too; teachers need to stay students.
Behind the Mat:
👠 30 years as a Sales Director @ Mary Kay Cosmetics
👩‍👧‍👧 Mom to 5 grown daughters + 5 kids-in-law
👶 Grandma to two little loves
🧳 Travel buddy to my 86-year-old mom
🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛ Humble servant to 3 feline overlords
💍 Bride to my actual Prince Charming
Call me “Special K”
The name is a gift from my youngest bonus daughter—back when she needed something to call this crazy new woman in her dad’s life. It was not a nice name at the time, but we’re close now, the sarcasm has faded, and I wear it with pride.
