Down Dog Yoga Community (DDYC) was founded in 2025, inspired by the joy of a cherished yoga pose and a deeply meaningful moment with my son. The first asana he practiced alongside me on the mat was downward dog, and his enthusiastic exclamation of “down dog!” remains a treasured memory etched on my heart. As an RYT-200 Certified Yoga Instructor, I am privileged to share my passion and practice with this wonderful community.

One of my favorite sayings: "And now it's like this"

I live in Northern Minnesota along the North Shore with my fur babies and husband. Helping others reconnect to their mind and body through the practice of mindfulness and yoga is dear to my heart. I look forward to practicing with you!
