I'm a 200-hour certified yoga instructor and I teach group classes, private sessions, and retreats in several styles including Vinyasa, Power, Hatha, Gentle, as well as Adaptive Vinyasa yoga classes for the blind.
I believe strongly in helping people start from wherever they are, even if that place is learning to breathe and be present. Yoga is a full body workout and enhances strength, stability, flexibility, mobility, and balance. You don't have to be flexible or strong to do yoga - you get more flexible and stronger by doing yoga.
I love creating unique and fun experiences, such as sunset yoga on the beach where the sights and sounds of nature offer a beautiful backdrop and help bring students into the present moment. My favorite moments of teaching are when I see a student make a breakthrough in their own progress, such as a pose they've been working on, or gaining new insights and confidence in their abilities.
I started my yoga practice in 2007 and quickly found that it's a perfect complement to running, hiking, and other outdoor pursuits I enjoy. I became a yoga teacher in 2018 after many years of practice and study. My previous 20+ years as a Learning and User Experience Designer plays an integral role in my teaching and ability to help others learn and grow. My natural deep empathy for all beings shines through everything I do.
I live with my adorable adopted pup named Franny, who sometimes shows up on the yoga mat as my assistant.
It would be my honor to bring yoga to your life.
