Favorite yoga pose & why:

Handstand / Adho Mukha Vrksasana. It's sometimes more of a love hate relationship. But the days I get some hangtime feel pretty powerful. Inversions are an awesome way to conquer fears and change your perspective physically and mentally

Most challenging yoga pose for you & why:

Chair Pose / Utkatasana. Such a sneakily intense pose! I am never able to find ease or softness in the pose, I’m always just waiting or the final breath!

Hobbies or other things you like to do:

Well, yoga of course! But I’m also an avid clothes hoarder and fashion junkie. I love the outdoors hiking, and the beach. I’m always up for an adventure!

Why are you a part of the GTM team?

I believe the more we are connecting with our phones, laptops and social media the more we are disconnecting from each other. I joined Grip the Mat because its events are dedicated to making us reconnect to each other through authentic meaningful interactions. Sometimes we have to disconnect to make a connection.
