To me, yoga is a place of stillness and of movement, of quiet introspection and of curious exploration. The physicality of the practice allows the mind, body and spirit to be completely present, working in concert. It has been a vital tool for me to cope with lifelong anxiety and I believe deeply that every person can benefit from it.

Through creative sequencing and a focus on unifying breath to movement, I strive to create an environment where students can build strength, confidence, and tools that they can utilize on the mat and in their daily lives.

I received my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification with Virginia Gallagher and Paula Gillian at Hot Asana Yoga University. I have two black belts in martial arts, a Master’s Degree in Education, and when I am not on my mat I can be found laughing and imagining with my two sons.
