Wendy came to yoga via Yogaworks in Santa Monica, CA, and that first practice quite literally changed her whole life. As she began to practice regularly, diving into the physical aspects, she wanted more, eventually leading to her receipt of her 230-Hour RYT with the Yoga Center of Minneapolis. After several hours and years of teaching, she went on to complete her 500-Hour training with Noah Maze in Hollywood, CA. She’s also studied with Rod Stryker, and completed countless workshops through Yogaworks, as well as The Heart of the Teacher with Maty Ezraty.

She had the privilege of opening The Yoga Room in Eau Claire in 2016, which has quickly become everyone’s #happyplace. This is the result of her positive energy, warmth and attention to detail. She takes the time and energy to get know everyone with which she comes in to contact. Wendy believes we need and crave more joy in the world, and the way we cultivate that is one practice at a time; one breath at a time, one adventure at a time. She brings this to all her classes and yoga retreats. Wendy is also the lead facilitator and teacher trainer for The Yoga Room’s 235-Hour Yoga Study/Teacher Training.

No matter the students’ level they will be welcomed with open arms to come and explore all of her styles of classes, discovering for themselves that practicing yoga can be about putting a smile on their faces, with a sneak attack of strengthening and balancing the body, as well as calming the mind. She encourages students to explore their personal edge, moving beyond their perceived limitations, with strength and grace. She does this in such a way that allows them to leave class feeling energetic, happy and healthy. Her classes typically focus on enjoying the transitions, physically and mentally, and allowing the breath to take you through them. Wendy teaches to allow people to feel, to really feel: strong, proud, happy, balanced, better, and she makes sure they have a damn good time while doing it! Expect to laugh, flow and connect in a transformational way!

As a wife and mother to 4 kiddos, she understands how crazy life can get. This also helps her to tap into how important it is to be focused and present with those you love, which in and of itself is her why behind yoga. When not on the mat she loves exploring the world with her family and leading yogis on life-changing adventures!
