My practice began after several years of commitment to personal and group fitness; first, as a student & then later as a group instructor. I was initially inspired to become a member of the Baptiste Community through Midwest Power Yoga. In August, 2009 I was inspired by Baron Baptiste, gaining clearer understanding of my personal vision, and deeper awareness of my true potential. I am honored to share this practice and be part of this growing community.
