A bit about me...

I love Yoga, and I am planning to study it for the rest of my life. Yoga can be a strenuous sequence with twists and binds, a soft flow with aromatics of palo santo, being present enough to notice the texture of the leaves, and pausing for a breath before reacting. Yoga is a way of existing here.

My practice helps me reset, recharge, and remember how to play.

Yoga has given me a rich sense of existence—physically, mentally, and spiritually. It’s connected me to many communities, deepened my presence with nature, and given me access to my own spirituality.

It’s my favorite tool when I need to quiet the noise of the world and tune into my intuition, or when I simply want to go upside down and see what I can do with my body and mind on any given day.

In my asana classes, I guide students through playful yet challenging transitions, focusing on strength, alignment, pranayama, and the classics: twists, folds, bends, binds, and inversions. I believe yoga is for every body, and that we can all benefit from its ancient teachings.

I’m constantly humbled and honored by the opportunity to share this practice and guide others along their own path.
