Full BIO — I am a 500 E-RYT (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) with Yoga Alliance, completing 500 hours of accredited training and leading over 2,500 hours of yoga and meditation. I own, operate, and teach at You, Yourself, and Yoga in Kirksville, Missouri, and provide online and virtual yoga through classes, workshops, retreats, and an on-demand yoga membership. 

First finding yoga after a serious car accident, my yoga practice looked anything but strong and flexible. I couldn’t do Downdog. And while I started yoga hoping to regain strength and mobility in my dominant arm, what kept bringing me back to my mat was how good I felt emotionally and mentally. It changed my life.

From there, I am here. Not only is my arm strong, my mind is so much healthier and happier. It’s also why I HAD to teach, to share this practice that saved me.

My style is laid-back and heart forward.
I deliver big time yoga with a small town community and feel.
I am the yogi for “normal,” “regular” people.

It’s not about handstands and splits. Yoga with TG focuses on finding space, strength, and stretch with grace to accept each day and each practice and the tenacity to keep coming back to the mat.
It’s about being Stretched, Not Stressed.
