Still Rising. Always Prospering.

My journey to the mat wasn't a straight line.

I had encountered yoga before, but I carried real questions about whether it aligned with my faith. Those questions mattered to me — and I sat with them honestly before I ever committed to a practice. What I found, on the other side of that discernment, was a discipline that deepened my relationship with myself and made me better at everything I was already called to do.

I found my practice at a local gym, and I haven't looked back.

I came to yoga carrying what most high-achieving professionals carry — stress, intensity, and a pace of life that left very little room for stillness. In fact, early in my practice, my Broker had a habit of asking me on certain mornings whether I was planning to go to yoga at lunch. It didn't take long to realize that question was his very polite way of letting me know I might have been just a little intense. Yoga changed that.

Over nearly two decades of practice, yoga has given me tools I could not have found anywhere else. It has built strength and flexibility in my body. It has been a steady anchor for my mental clarity and emotional resilience through some of the most demanding seasons of my professional and personal life. It has taught me to meet people — clients, colleagues, family, and students — exactly where they are, with grace and a level of peace I am certain would not exist without the mat.

More than anything, yoga has helped me manage my nervous system. The time I spend in practice doesn't erase the challenges I face. But it makes me immeasurably better prepared to face them — and to engage with them with intention rather than reaction.

I am a former Federal Biological Scientist, the Founder and Principal Broker of Calla Brown Realty and Property Management, and the Founder of Euodoo Coaching & Training — a professional development company dedicated to helping real estate agents build sustainable, thriving careers. I have spent my professional life at the intersection of science, service, and human potential. Yoga is where all of those threads come together.

I received my 200-hour yoga teacher training at the Pranakriya School of Yoga and Healing Arts, rooted in the Tantric Hatha lineage — a tradition that honors the conscious movement of breath and vital energy through the body — and it is the foundation of everything I teach.

I created Euodoo Rising Yoga because I believe the practice that changed my life can change yours. Not by fixing what is broken, but by revealing what was always already there — strength, clarity, peace, and the capacity to rise.
