Prerana is a sanskrit word used to describe the initiating life force of nature. In the natural world, we see prerana everywhere. It is the way an acorn becomes a massive oak or the way plants will grow as high as they can toward the light. Prerana is our ability to grow to our maximum potential. Prerana Yoga is dedicated to unlocking this force within us all.

I have been practicing yoga for 11 years, teaching for 10 and during the years I have spent practicing I have watched my life transform from anxiety-ridden, depressed and addicted to a more peaceful purpose. Through yoga and thanks to my all of my teachers (including students), I have found a freedom I did not know was possible and it is my ultimate goal to share this freedom with every student I have. I received my yoga therapy credentials from Hilaire Lockwood at Hilltop Yoga studio of Lansing and I continue to study the Ashtanga and Ghosh traditional lineages. I believe that everyone can benefit from what a yoga practice has to offer, no matter what your goals are. Yoga develops a heightened awareness that encompasses your whole being, allowing you to become the freest and most alive version of yourself.
