I began my yoga practice as a weekend warrior!

I explored Ashtanga, Bikram, and Hatha styles, and when I discovered heated Vinyasa Yoga in 2009, I was ready to commit to regular yoga practice. Initially drawn to the physical benefits and the cleansing heat, I was soon grateful for how the Vinyasa flow helped calm my mind. My spirit yearned to learn more of the yoga teachings, and with the support of masterful teachers like Richard Lanza, Stephanie Brown-Ford, and Jacqui Bonwell, I came to appreciate the true healing powers of yoga. My classes are alignment-focused and accessible to all levels, taught at a moderate pace in a warm studio environment with instrumental music to create a supportive and balanced experience.

A 2010 graduate of the Open Doors Power Yoga Teaching Training (200 hours) and a 2011 graduate of The Sacred Seed Yoga School (200 hours), both programs recognized by Yoga Alliance, I’m now what Jacqui calls a “foot soldier” of yoga, here to share what I’m learning as best I can. Appreciating that we are all just beginners of this magical practice, I teach an approachable class with a focus on light-heartedness and a spirited playlist!
