Define SPY  "To me, Simply Power is a place of community, a place of peace. It's a place where I am free to express myself by being my authentic self. It's a place where when I walk through the door, all my outside thoughts disappear, and I can be present in the moment, not only with myself, but with others who are part of the Simply Power Community."

Favorite Pose "My favorite pose is pigeon. To me, pigeon is a pose where I am connected to the earth, my body and my breath. It's a pose of surrender. When I'm in pigeon, I can guide my breath to places of tension to help soften. I also love the stretch that gives it gives me in my hips at the end of a practice."

About me "I had practiced yoga throughout my whole life, but it wasn't until 2022 when I started to regularly come to Simply Power. Coming back to Cincinnati for college after my first school, I had made a commitment to myself I would start to practice regularly again. When I started back up, SPY gave me a space where I was able to find myself again. Going through the teaching training was an eye opening and truly life changing experience for me. Studying athletic training, yoga is such a great form of recovery to get athletes to move their bodies, instead of relying on recovery modalities in the athletic training room. Being able to teach is so power and uplifting because I get to give others what the teachers at Simply Power gave to me. This studio has given me the opportunity to grow closer in friendships, create new friendships, and given me the opportunity to be part of an unbelievably special community."
