Yoga has been a part of my life for decades since my 20th, and my own practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible and fearless, both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully. In my classes, I love to combine creative sequencing, a spirit of playfulness and a dose of inspiration to help my students to deepen their practice. I seek to help others thrive in live by nurturing body, mind and soul with yoga, healthy food, and my hope is that you step off the mat feeling refreshed, nourished and balanced. Yoga is the relationship that is built between the body, the mind, and the breath. Yoga is creating space free form obstacles in your own body to live. Yoga is freedom and release. I am here to help others find this release so that they can comfortably and competently move their bodies through life.
