ALOHA

Welcome! I’m so glad. you’re here. I’m a yoga teacher and music executive who splits my time between South Maui, Northern Nevada, and a rock-and-roll tour bus.

I was raised in Dallas, Texas, and I’ve studied in Honolulu, Paris, Austin, and New York City before completing my MBA at Pepperdine University. After attending Sotheby’s American Arts’ Program, I went on to hold a twenty-year career in the retail fine art industry, ultimately running six galleries in three states.

FAR & WIDE

ON THE ROAD

I first stepped on a yoga mat n 2003, igniting a journey within that changed everything. Within a year I got divorced, went to rehab, and in 2007 ditched my executive career to start teaching yoga. Seven years later, and with another giant leap of faith, I joined my husband, (yes, husband #2) on the road, supporting him and his band at over 100 shows annually while traveling to nearly every state in this beautiful, amazing country.

When touring is happening, I teach yoga and journaling workshops at various stops along our way. While home for longer tour breaks I teach yoga in my local community, whether that be in Gardnerville, NV or South Maui. I offer some classes online, and mostly love sharing free videos, and have almost 100 of them up on my YouTube channel.

I used to blog a lot, and maybe will get back to it one of these days. I love writing and most of that effort these days is going to my second book.

Downdog for Roaddogs is my first book, and the first edition became available in January 2022.

DOWNDOG FOR ROADDOGS

My blog Downdog for Roaddogs documents life on the road experiences inspired by various yoga classes I’m lucky enough to take as I travel far and wide, but mostly deep inside the journey of my heart. This blog is dedicated to the wondrous practices of yoga, which happen in the most surprising and delightful ways that I can’t possibly not share them.
