“Just Breathe. Your breath is the most important thing, whether it is yoga or life. Breath moves through us every moment.”


About me

Nickname: Rosie

Rosie’s yoga journey began back in 1997 when she first tried it to help manage migraines while pregnant with her first child. Though her early practice was on and off, she returned to yoga after a running injury to heal her body—and stayed when she discovered how deeply it restored both her physical strength and her mind, bringing a profound peace she couldn't find anywhere else.

Training locally at Yoga Bliss under the guidance of Amy Boswell-Graves and Tracy Rhinehart, Rosie graduated with the 2015 Teacher Training class. Today, her teaching style is energetic yet grounded and deeply grateful. Her guiding motto is simple: Just Breathe. Whether on the mat or navigating daily life, she reminds her students that the breath is the most vital anchor we have, moving through us in every moment.

When she isn't teaching or practicing, Rosie enjoys staying active through running and gardening, cooking great food, and losing herself in a good book—her ultimate guilty pleasure. An avid camper, her absolute favorite place is sitting next to a lake in the morning with a cup of coffee, watching the mist rise as the sun comes up. And if you're wondering about her favorite pose? It's Triangle (Trikonasana): a posture where your feet stay rooted to the earth while your arms expand, your heart opens, and you feel so light you could almost lift off the ground.
