I was practicing yoga for a few years when I decided to become a certified Kids Yoga and Mindfulness Instructor. Not only did yoga provide exercise for me but also teaching me how to find peace and mindfulness.

Exercise has always been a big part of my life and providing me with an outlet for stress. I taught senior stretch and strength for many years at a fitness center. I enjoyed connecting with the seniors and becoming good friends with many. In 2000 I married the nicest man on earth, and blended 6 children together all under one roof. I guess you could say we were the Brady Bunch without Alice. Long story short we have been very blessed this all worked out for all. We now have 14 wonderful grandkids that keep us very busy. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, exercise, camping and traveling with my husband and enjoying retirement.

I am very excited to be part of the Challenge to Change program and share my knowledge and passion with today's youth.
