In 2006, she opened Breath and Body Yoga in Austin, Texas. At present she works closely with Baron Baptiste and brings a new dynamic to the practice where vinyasa flow meets alignment. She has also established the leading 200 and 500 hour teacher training school in Austin plus produces online classes and yoga videos.
