I’ve been practicing yoga for more than 20 years. My journey began at YogaWorks where I completed both my 200 and 300 hour Teacher Training certificates, and I started teaching there in 2010. I’ve continued my education by taking workshops with senior teachers such as Annie Carpenter, Dharma Mittra, and Ana Forrest (to name a few). One of my favorite yoga memories was when I assisted my mentor, Erika Burkhalter, at the Wanderlust Yoga Festival in 2011.  I continue to take classes from fellow teachers on a regular basis. My students have described my classes as fun, thoughtful, and dynamic. I feel a deep sense of gratitude for my teachers, students, and yoga community.

Her teaching style blends yogic therapy, with mindful sequencing and correct alignment while focusing on the breath to create a moving meditation. Her teaching and energy create a refuge for her students while pushing them to grow beyond their expectations.

INSTRUCTOR

I have been teaching yoga for over 20 years, and I never stop being inspired by the practice. As a yoga instructor, I feel that my role is to inspire students to move and live in a more mindful and intentional way. My teaching style is influenced by three decades of studying with master yoga and meditation teachers from a variety of traditions including but not limited to Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa Flow, Viniyoga, Yin, Restorative, Shadow, Power, Bhakti, and Insight Meditation. I am also heavily influenced by my personal meditation practice as well as my background in philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Currently my most influential teacher is my daily life. I find that every day is filled with opportunities to pause, be present, feel the fullness of the moment, and respond compassionately and wisely. My alignment-based vinyasa flow style blends anatomical precision, philosophical eloquence, and spiritual curiosity with the hope of de-mystifying the practice of yoga and helping students to find more ease in their bodies. You will leave your mat with a renewed feeling of wellness, awareness, and belonging. Learn more about me, my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, and my Yoga Retreats at TrueFlowYoga.com
