Welcome

I work with individuals and groups in various mind-body-spirit practices to enhance their quality of life. I teach practices that integrate the body with activation of breath and the use of intention to improve well-being.

My Background:

1. Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 500), certified through Yoga Alliance
2. 30-Hour Training in Restorative Yoga
3. Yoga Nidra Teacher Training (in progress)
4. Experienced Tai Chi and Qi Gong Practitioner/Guide
5. Urban Tantra® Professional Training Program, Certificate of Mastery

My Beliefs: 

1. Inclusion — creating safe, diverse class spaces — is not an optional practice; it is required.
2. All bodies are amazing, beautiful, capable, and deserving of respect and inclusion.
3. Disclosure and consent are required in all interactions.
4. I am non-dualistic. I avoid the use of comparisons like good/bad or right/wrong; both imply judgmental thinking, usually leading to false understanding and suffering.
5. Yoga has 8 limbs; I do my best to teach from that perspective throughout my practice.

What I Do:

1. Teach beginner, gentle, all-levels, and restorative yoga classes.
2. Teach a variety of breathwork practices.
3. Guide meditations and Yoga Nidra.
4. Teach Tai Chi and Qigong.
5. Create a welcoming and safe practice environment through the use of trauma-sensitive teaching methods, accessible yoga principles, and common courtesy for each person I interact with.
