how yoga found you: At a time when I was in need of emotional, physical, and mental healing, Yoga gave me a new sense of self, a new community of friends, and growth beyond all measures.

what nurtures you: Music, Reiki, human touch; holding a baby; petting an animal; the ocean and beach; a great friend; chocolate.

places i love: Hawaii, San Francisco, anywhere there is a beach and ocean.

the best things in life are... "Ah HA!" Moments of clarity and synchronicity. Moments I feel like a child again with a sense of wonder and awe and excitement. Falling and being in love. Unconditional acceptance and support from loved ones. Laughing till my tummy hurts.

I smile when... someone smiles at me :)

A source of joy for me is... my family, live concerts, nature.

I am grateful for: Yoga, second chances, forgiveness, love, the little things that make a difference.

My favorite pose: Depends on the day!

I laugh out loud when... when I'm tickled.

I love watching... sunsets.

There is nothing better than... how you feel after an intense Hot Yoga class

words that i try to live by... "No Worries." And, "No Judgement."

a defining moment in my life: When I lived in Hawaii and my spiritual self was awakened on a daily basis.

I love... sunshine.

playing on my ipod: Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, the White Stripes.

where you might run in to me in Cleveland: Somewhere near the lake, Inner Bliss Yoga Studio :)

the best yoga class i ever experienced: One that opened me up so much that I cried.

favorite day of the week is... Sunday.

Yoga is... one of the greatest blessings in my life.

I can't live without... others to lean on.
