I’m from Dillon, Montana, and graduated from West Point in 1984. I served 21 years as an Army Officer and retired in the summer of 2005 as a Lieutenant Colonel after a three-year tour as a Battalion Commander in Germany, but included deployments to Kuwait, Iraq, and Turkey.  While looking for a little balance and tranquility in my life, I sought out an exercise program to maintain strength and flexibility, without the harsh impact of Army fitness.  Yoga found me.  I began training through YogaFit in 2005 and have been teaching ever since.  I’ve been a RYT200 since 2006 and have taught yoga at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, GA, and as the Fitness Director at the Tiftarea YMCA.  I’ve also taught and presented yoga classes in the public school system and at community organizational events in Tifton, including Christian Led Yoga at the First Baptist Church.  I find my Christianity fits well with Yogic Philosophy.  I am currently working on RYT500 training.
In addition to training with Beth Shaw (YogaFit), I’ve trained with Becky Martin, the founder of Christ Centered Yoga (CCY).
When I’m not being a mom or yoga teacher, I also work as an independent consultant for Booz-Allen-Hamilton in Albany.  I’m very happy to be teaching the Noon Gentle Flow class on Tuesdays and Thursdays – A needed mid-day break!
