Why do you love the Modo community?
At Modo everyday is a new experience. The instructors, students, and class varieties all bring me a new exciting and fun experience every time I walk through the door.
Why do you teach yoga?
I started my teacher training with no intention of teaching. I wanted to learn and strength my own practice. As I began teaching I found it to be exactly what I needed – bringing the experiences and parts of yoga which have impacted my life so greatly to others.
What yoga certifications do you have?
200 RYT Primary; Group Exercise Instructor
If you were an animal, what would it be?
Elephant
You have one day completely to yourself in Columbus. What do you do?
Take a yoga class and probably sleep.
What’s your favorite yoga pose and why?
Lizard/dragon pose. The movement of opening my hips is constantly changing. I’m able to modify or vary this pose as my body needs and it can be a yang or yin pose. The pose is so helpful for so many areas of the body in addition to the hips so there is a lot of benefit for it in my practice.
You can only eat at one Columbus restaurant for the rest of your life. What is it?
Pat and Gracie’s downtown location. I absolutely love their food and usually their rotating draft selection. Everything is fresh made – no freezer or microwave in the kitchen. Great atmosphere and it’s close to my house!
