Gwen has happily landed in Minnesota after 10 years of traveling as a stage performer. While singing and dancing she always had her yoga mat to keep her grounded and balanced in more ways than one. Gwen practiced and studied yoga all over the world from Europe, to Oman to China and now is happy to have arrived here in Minnesota!  The founder of emPower Yoga and Personal Training, Gwen, is thrilled to join forces with the amazing people at Green Lotus!

Gwen received her certification in yoga from The White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California, with Ganga White and Tracey Rich.  She has studied with and been influenced by Erich Schiffman, Bryan Kest, Ana Forrest, Natasha Rizopolous, and Daren Friezen.   She is also an NASM, NIHS, and ACE certified Personal Trainer. 

Gwen has been practicing yoga for 15 years and has been teaching yoga for 6 years in homes, studios, and gyms around the metro area.
She has been a personal trainer for 4 years.

Simply put, yoga has changed and defined her life.

While performing in Beijing with her husband, Gwen fell ill with a thyroid condition that helped her to make the decision to plant roots somewhere and find a true home base. The one thing that helped to keep her sane and eased the depression of being ill and at the end of a career path was YOGA. The next obvious path for her was to share with others the art and science of an ancient practice capable of bringing such total peace and love.
