I started practicing yoga in college as an elective course and immediately experienced many benefits, including mindfulness, breath work, increased flexibility,
and strength. Best of all, practicing yoga, especially during high-stress moments such as college finals, gave me a sense of peace and focus.
After college, I continued to practice yoga on and off for the next 10-plus years, really leaning in on it during difficult life moments such as losing my dad to Angiosarcoma
and then my mom seven years later to Glioblastoma. These last three years, I increased the amount I practice because the way I felt during and afterward throughout
the day was ten times better than how I was feeling day to day before.
Presently, my husband and I have two kids raised here in our first home in the community of Troutdale. I saw a unique opportunity this last year
where I could open up a studio and share this passion with my community right in the heart of Troutdale.
At Columbia Flow, we have two different studio spaces,
one of them a hot room, to expand our offerings to the community. I look forward to hot vinyasa, hot pilates, vinyasa, hatha, kid yoga, mommy/daddy and me,
and many more classes. See you soon!
