Upon graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in architecture, Rebecca moved to San Francisco to pursue a new career in the design field. It was in San Francisco where she began her hatha yoga practice and took her first Bikram yoga class. She found a new passion; a passion for her own self awareness and self-realization. This commenced her journey; transforming her life of design into a life of healing and helping others.
In the spring of 2006, Rebecca graduated from the teacher training course at Bikram's College of India Headquarters in Los Angeles. A Certified Bikram Yoga teacher, Rebecca approaches both teaching and her own practice with compassion, passion, and dedication. She is known for her encouraging and optimistic style of teaching that incorporates both the physical and mental aspects of the yoga practice. Her positive attitude and playfulness in and out of the yoga studio is contagious. Rebecca has had the opportunity to travel and share her passion throughout the United States, as well as Europe. Her dedication to her practice has helped to place her in the top 10 Women of the International Bishnu Ghosh Asana Cup and First in The Netherlands Asana Cup in 2009/2010. The Asana Championship is an opportunity she uses to motivate herself in her personal practice as well as inspire others to seek the best in themselves. "What the mind can conceive, the body and mind can achieve."
Rebecca moved to Pittsburgh in 2010 from the Nehterlands. She fell in love with the city as well as the community ready to grow. She opened her own yoga studio not long after moving here. You can find Rebecca teaching and practicing everyday at her own studio - Bikram Yoga Squirrel Hill - Pittsburgh.
