My love for intense physical & mental discipline originated over 30 years ago in the Martial Art of Tang Soo Do, Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan, where my daily practice embraced mindfulness though intense mental focus & balance. I began teaching power yoga over 22 years ago. and incorporate the philosophy of martial arts into my practice such as, the importance using the breath for power, focus & balance.  I love blending vinyasa & hatha into a style of yoga I call Power Flow & Balance, with much focus on alignment and emphasis on complete mind & body presence, while stressing the importance of awareness of one’s own physical limitations.  

​

After teaching pretty much all aspects of group fitness for  3 decades, including martial arts, I have chosen to dedicate my teachings mostly to my Bootie Camp Fitness™ brand (which includes power yoga, barre, strength & boxing), inspiring others to not only incorporate yoga & strength into their daily life, but inspiring them to inspire others, through my 200 hour yoga teacher training and Bootie Camp Fitness™ instructor certifications.

As a 58-year-old mom of 3, and grandma of 3, I enjoy outdoor activities, including rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, kayaking, paddle boarding, shooting and hosting charity events.  I am also very passionate about creating Abstract Art.
