About me
My first yoga experience was in 2012 when I dropped into a class with my daughter and quickly
fell for the way it made my body and mind feel. I have been practicing yoga since at various studios
in the St. Albert area. I consider myself a real enthusiast. I am trained as a pharmacist, and have
worked in health care for almost thirty years. For the past 30 years, I have led health research
studies as a professor at the University of Alberta, with a focus on chronic medical conditions like
diabetes and obesity. I have always been interested in health, exploring and understanding what
determines health and how we, individually and collectively, can positively influence our health. I
consider health to mean physical, mental and social well-being and I think yoga contributes to all
of these aspects of health! I completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with the Institute of Inner Source in St. Albert in May 2017. In my yoga teaching, I combine what I know about health, our anatomy and physiology with
yoga philosophies and practices, and love to share that combination with others. I was invited to
become an Ambassador with Lululemon in 2024, which has helped me to connect with
communities and people in so many ways to share my love of yoga and health.
