Yin Yoga Certified, Restorative Yoga Instructor, Aerial Yoga Instructor, Pilates Instructor

I have been interested in spirituality and Eastern philosophy from a young age, but started my yoga asana journey in 2015 while in grad school. I love yoga because it helps me feel more at home in my body and shapes how I understand and interact with the world around me. In 2018, after living abroad on a fellowship year, I pursued my 200-hour YTT in Rishikesh, India and have been teaching since. I completed my 300-hour YTT with Hot Asana University. I am also a 500-hour comprehensively certified Pilates instructor.

I have my Masters in Public Health from The George Washington University and previously worked in HIV prevention for adolescent girls and young women in Eastern and sub-Saharan Africa.

My goal in class is to create an approachable and supportive environment with space for exploration. I love building community through yoga and remain a student first.
