My yoga journey began in college, during a time of deep transition and anxiety. As a lifelong athlete studying Behavioral Neuroscience, I struggled to find grounding—until I walked into a tiny San Diego yoga studio and everything changed. Yoga became my daily ritual: a practice that helped me breathe, move, and come home to myself.
After college, I returned to Stockton, where I was born and raised, and joined a small studio run by my dear friend and mentor, Alyssa Vaccarezza. Her guidance inspired me to become a 200-hour RYT, a cycle coach, a director, and now, the proud owner of Shine. Yoga is the heartbeat of my life—cultivating a community grounded in love, healing, and shared growth. I’m so grateful to be here and to share this practice with all of you. Love you, mean it!
