About Me
Yogi for Life
I began my yoga journey many years ago and have remained deeply committed to living my yoga. I offer empowering, inspiring flows that encourage students to explore and connect with their deeper authentic self. I will meet you exactly where you are yet encourage you to embrace your own unique experiences. I love yoga for all its' transformative powers, physical, spiritual and more. I emphatically know yoga will always be a part of my life for “Yoga is my health insurance”. I hope to allow you the freedom to be true to yourself both on and off the mat. When you step out into the real world and are able to deal with situations in a clearer, more authentic way., that is where the magic happens. I cater to students of all levels and abilities, and ensure that everyone feels welcome and comfortable in my classes from day one. Expect a fun, upbeat flow set to carefully selected music. My classes will be challenging, yet always safe using the biomechanics of alignment. My hope is that you will leave class feeling a bit more peaceful, authentic and complete, something that really resonates with me.
Yes - I will be a YOGI for life!
Enhance Your Wellness
Yoga is a great way to improve your endurance in other physical activities. Yoga will help your body relax while stretching, strengthening, and lengthening the muscles you were just working on. Yoga is a low impact, yet weight bearing form of exercise/movement. I always tell people"Yoga will keep you looking and more importantly feeling young"
Restore
I also teach Restorative Yoga and Yin and Meditation as yoga not only helps improve your body, but also helps with mindfulness and focus. Our days are so packed with activities and stimuli from the moment we wake up; it is crucial, now more than ever that we take time to unplug, reboot and reset. Our nervous system is so conditioned to the fight or flee response that we need mindful reminders to slow down, to breath and to just BE. Give yourself the gift of a slower, nourishing practice such as
Yin, Restorative or iRest Yoga Nidra
Yoga Therapist C-IAYT
What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy differs from a regular yoga private in that it is very customized with you in mind. At it's very core, it is a whole-person health blueprint and integrative healthcare approach. We give you the tools to take your health and well- being into your own hands. Yoga Therapy can help combat burnout, fatigue, stress and chronic pain. We are trained to see the whole person through the body, breath, mind and spiritual process.
I offer specialized support for people struggling with chronic stress and anxiety. I help people who are challenged by depression, disconnection from their bodies and healing from grief.

My Bio
I have been very fortunate to study with many national teachers that have impacted both my practice and my teachings. One of my early influences was Christina Sell and Anusara yoga. Anusara yoga begins with bio-mechanical alignment principles called the “Universal Principles of Alignment™”. Anusara trained me to integrate these alignment instructions with the attitudinal heart theme in artful and creative ways. I also studied with Anodea Judith who is considered one of the country’s foremost experts on the combination of chakras and therapeutic issues and on the interpretation of the Chakra System for the Western lifestyle. In addition to this I have 1000's of hours studying and delving deep into yoga philosophy, Hindu deities exploration, meditation and pranayama. I am an anatomy geek and love to work with individuals to enable them to get more out of their practice in a safe and sustainable way. I am an experienced-500 registered yoga teacher and love to share all of yoga's limbs with others. I also teach children's yoga and enjoy their laughter and lightness. I am a Yoga Therapist and currently taking take 1:1 clients to help you find balance, peace and health as a lifetime practice.

Then I'll guide you through some particular movements to release trauma and tension in the body with Tension Release Exercises.
