A passionate student of Anusara Yoga® and a Certified Anusara instructor, B.J. has had a consistent practice since 1999.

After two years of intense Astanga study, BJ felt drawn to the Anusara practice, dedicating thousands of hours   to training, studying and teaching this inspirational and playful style of yoga.  She has been blessed with the opportunity to travel the U.S., Australia, and Europe, studying with, apprenticing, and assisting master yoga teacher and the founder of Anusara, John Friend.

“Anusara yoga isn’t what I do, it’s how I live, who I am. It’s aligning with, trusting and celebrating the Energy beating our hearts, growing the trees, shining the sun. It’s immersing myself in the magic of the Flow."

B.J.'s energizing presence and intention to serve from her heart inspire students to align with the power of Grace and their own intention within. Contagiously uplifting and passionate about the practice, she will guide and assist you to transform, heal and awaken a full expression of Divine beauty and Goodness from the inside out, on and off the mat.

As well as being a certified Anusara yoga teacher, B.J. was a fully qualified fitness instructor and personal trainer for 15 years; she is also a Certified HypnoBirthing® Practitioner and Reiki Master.

Outside of the fitness industry, she founded and managed several successful business ventures, both for profit and not for profit, and served four years on the local school board, as well as on her neighborhood association. A native Arizonan, B.J. spent many years living in Mexico and can offer classes in both Spanish and English.

Her ardent desire to connect deeply within her own heart, and the hearts of those around her, fuels her dedication to study and practice different healing modalities that naturally expand the body, mind and soul.  A relentless seeker of Divine wisdom and knowing, she continues philosophy studies with the renowned scholars Dr. Douglas Brooks, Carlos Pomeda, and Paul Muller-Ortega and subtly weaves the life affirming teachings into her classes.

B.J. is honored to be the mother of three extraordinary young men, and overjoyed to be the grandmother of a beautiful little boy named Sebastian.

"You know that space of infinite love and unbounded joy within your Heart, that place you don't even know exists until you have a child? Well, there is another one for your grandchildren!"

Eternally thankful for her family, friends, Jordan and Martin, all of her teachers and those who came before them, she is especially grateful  to John Friend, and the auspicious blessing of Grace that led her to this rocking with Shakti, fun loving, magically transformational, all inclusive, life-affirming community of like hearted people called Anusara.
