NAMASTE

My yoga practice began about 12 years ago, initially as a supplement to pre-professional dance training. I was introduced first to Hatha, then Bikram, and finally became hooked by the connection of movement to breath of vinyasa. I completed my 200 Hour Teacher Training with Yandara Yoga in Bali in August 2016, with an extra focus on Yin & Restorative Yoga. I now teach introductory classes, vinyasa, deep stretch, and restorative to all those willing to practice with me.

For me, yoga is ultimately about the spiritual experience. With my background in dance, yoga is a means to find transcendence of the soul through breath and movement. Additionally, I strive for teaching to help students achieve things they never believed possible in themselves, both mentally and physically. 

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu. May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may my thoughts & actions contribute in some way to that freedom & happiness for all.
