Yoga found me in 2001, about a year before the birth of my first child. The first class I attended was taught by a wonderful and welcoming women by the name of Jan, who laughed and farted her way through the whole class. I loved it.

Shortly after Patty opened East Lansing Hot Yoga, I started to develop a more regular and consistent practice. I remember my first time at KYA, and how much it absolutely kicked my asana…. but I stayed with it. This practice changed my life, on all levels. I was called to deepen my practice even further through a 200 hour YTT program through a studio in Ann Arbor in 2020.

I am forever grateful to our very own Mike, for mentioning to Patty that I had my RYT 200 level and encouraging me to reach out to her to join this awesome team. Patty asked me to teach Hot Hiit and Core, and the rest is history (as they say).

It is a huge honor for me to share space and practice with all of you at ELHY. Every time I walk into any space that allows me to opportunity to guide this sacred practice, I am in awe of every one of you for showing up on your mats and being exactly who you are in that moment! Shanti.
