About the Teacher
Why study with them?
I’ve been teaching yoga since 1999, and what began as a personal practice quickly became a lifelong devotion to sharing this work with others.
I’m a CYT500 certified through Yoga Alliance, and I lead 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings through MBODY Yoga School. Supporting future teachers as they step into their voice and calling is an incredible honor.
And yet—my heart truly belongs to teaching groups.
There’s something powerful that happens when we gather in a shared space to breathe, move, and grow together. I see every class as a conversation. While I may be guiding the room, I deeply recognize that we are all students. As I teach, I am learning. As I hold space, I am held by the collective energy of the community.
My classes weave together mindful movement, breath, music, and embodied awareness. I draw from decades of study, practice, and lived experience to create spaces that feel grounded, welcoming, and real—where strength and softness can coexist, and where you’re invited to meet yourself exactly as you are.
Yoga, to me, isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. And I’m grateful to keep practicing—right alongside you.
