ABOUT
My love of anatomy and movement culminated with a degree in Biological Sciences. My pursuit of physical fitness was challenged in my mid-thirties by a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. This diagnosis caused me to change my perception of strength and fitness. I had to relearn movements and create lifestyle changes that would support a chronic disease that affects joints.

LEARN MY WHY
I witnessed firsthand the changes yoga made to my body and mind. As my practice deepened I began to connect with my spirituality. I began to structure and design my practice with awareness of mind, body, and spirit. The result was a flowing Vinyasa based practice that moves like a dance and celebrates anatomical form. I often use music as a tool to influence the direction, tone, and pace of my practice.
This allows the creation of unique and playful sequencing that changes based on my environment, mood or intention. I believe in evolutionary sequences that constantly challenge and train the body. I place emphasis on the level of focus required to stay engaged in a pose and utilize varied breathing pranayama techniques in my practice.
MY
ETHOS
Personal Power
When I am able to readily access the source of my power and fully understand that it lies within, there are no limits on what can be accomplished.
The Journey
We are all on a journey, searching to discover our true path. I hold myself and others in the light of grace and compassion as I navigate my way.
The Destination
I do not need to know the outcome or destination in order to continue along my journey. May I find joy, passion, and fulfillment as I mindfully hold space in the present and enjoy what lies before me.
Its none of it and all of it
It’s not about speed, stretch, balance, flexibility, power, stamina, or endurance. It’s not about any of these things and at the same time it’s about all of these things. It’s about integrating these concepts in a way that uniquely serves you in your practice best.
Strength
You are stronger today than you were yesterday and tomorrow you will be stronger still.
Specialty
My specialty is making the ancient practices of yoga and ayurveda applicable in our modern everyday lives. I help clients overcome doubt to challenge, train, and define their bodies and minds. I focus on safe practices that stay within proper alignment, increased flexibility, and range of motion.
I would love to assist you on your journey.
