Being passionate about aqua yoga, she wants to see aqua yoga in more communities worldwide so others can achieve the benefits of aquatic exercise. She lives in Florida with her husband and two sons. When she’s not in the pool, there’s nothing she loves better than a good book and a huge cup of tea.
