As a child, Star loved movement and expression. At a young age life presented her with some great physical challenges, including spinal scoliosis, and as of today, she has had three major spinal fusions. Working through these challenges has inspired Star to connect on a deeper level with her mind, body and spirit which lead her to yoga and belly dancing. She has been studying and teaching the art of belly dance for the past 10 years here in the United States and abroad. She has studied yoga with Peter Sterios and Psalm Isadora, traveled to India and Thailand to deepen her yoga practice, and continued with her teacher training in Ananda Yoga in California. Since returning to her birthplace of Eureka, MT in 2008, Star has become the director of the Creative Arts Center located there, and continues to teach yoga and belly dancing throughout Northwest Montana and Canada.
