I began practicing Ashtanga Yoga in 2000. Ashtanga yoga has made changes to my physical body, my spirituality and has introduced me to an astounding yoga community in Calgary filled with amazing teachers, practitioners and friends.

I was recently in Mysore, India and had the opportunity to study with Sri K Pattabhi Jois and his grandson Sharath. It was an incredible experience that has deepened my practice and given me a new respect for the tradition of Ashtanga yoga.

I completed teacher training with David Swenson in 2003 and have also had the opportunity to learn from many senior teachers including: David Williams, Nancy Gilgoff, Richard Freeman, Ron Reid, and Fiona Stang.

I am an Occupational Therapist by trade and recently began teaching yoga when Melody gave me the opportunity to join the wonderful group of teachers at the shala.
