I am a caring and passionate teacher who helps students find freedom and joy through conscious movement and breath. A severe back injury served as a catalyst for me to discover a way forward without spinal fusion surgery. I found my way back to health by immersing myself in anatomical study, pranayama, meditation, and gentle asana practice. I am committed to teaching compassionately, providing options and modifications that are inclusive of all students, and encouraging students to listen carefully to their own bodies. I have been teaching community dance classes to women since 2005, and bring this wealth of experience into my yoga classes, with a focus on flowing movement, anatomical alignment, and a relaxed style full of grace and heart.
