I moved to Oak Island in 2021 and immediately found the Rec Center. Mert and the Yoga Community (family) made me feel so welcome! I am honored to now teach and give back the love and energy. I believe Yoga is for everyone! It's not about the poses or what you can or can not do. It's about showing up. Being present. breathing and moving. Doing what you can. For me. Yoga is a gift and lessons we learn on the mat. Helps us navigate life with a little more ease. It's a practice! You'll find me teaching Community classes. Pier Yoga this summer and beside you on the mat as a student. We're all teachers. We're all students .Grateful

Welcome students of all levels! Teaching Mi Zong Qigong has been one of my greatest joys for over 10 years. With over 500+ hours of training, these gentle classes combine flowing movement, breathwork, posture, and meditation to help improve balance, flexibility, breathing, and overall vitality while calming the nervous system and supporting healthy joints. I love creating a peaceful and encouraging space where students can reconnect with energy, relaxation, and the natural rhythm of the breath. Mi Zong Qigong is often described as “meditation in motion” — a gentle practice that can help support joint mobility, improve balance, and leave students feeling more refreshed, relaxed, and energized.

Qigong means: “Developing skill with life energy.”
