Her Story:

I found out about CrossFit at 1088 through a Facebook ad. I decided to try it because I had recently retired my horse and I was looking for an activity to fill that void. I have a friend who does CrossFit at another gym, and she was always talking about how great it was….so I signed up!

I started doing yoga six years ago. Mostly hot power yoga. I enjoy the intensity of tough poses but also the meditative nature of the practice. I LOVE that yoga is for everyone. You don’t have to be flexible or athletic, you don’t have to be young. There is literally a modification for every pose. Personally, yoga helps me to deal with my anxiety and depression. Yoga makes me feel powerful.

I am an avid gardener, and I volunteer for our community as a Master Gardener. In my own garden, I have three raised beds where I grow all my veggies. I also have an ever-evolving Florida friendly pollinator garden.

I love to craft. I have a stained glass studio in my home where I like to create Mid-Century Modern inspired panels. I also make jewelry and holiday items.

When instructing, I love seeing people progress in their practice or finally “get” a pose. It is just as exciting as reaching a PR in CrossFit and just as tough to do. I also love showing people that no matter their ability, yoga is for them.
