I am a wife to Steve and mother of 4 children: Marcus (15), Nicholas (7), Ariana (6) and Eliana (3mos.)  I am in the fitness industry and have a deep love of yoga and strive to continue learning and growing as a practitioner and teacher.  When I was 7 mos. pregnant with our last daughter, Elly, I became a vegetarian as a step toward lessening the number of suffering animals as well as helping lower my personal effect on the environment.  As a family, we constantly try to move toward being as "Green" as possible and enjoy thinking of ways to "give back."  As parents, our intention is to educate our children on the effects we, as individuals, can have on the future of the planet and how our actions effect others.

My favorite quote is:  "To the world, you may be one person.  But to one person, you may be the world."  Can't remember who said it, but I love it!!!
