Welcome

I help my clients slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and become more aware of what they are feeling so they can regain their agency and make choices that support their health and their lives.

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.
