MEET YOUR GUIDE

Yoga started me on a new path 25 years ago. It was love at first meditation, when I began to explore what it meant to connect to my inner landscape. I found yoga, like most things in my life, through synchronicity. To come as I am, without apology has been the journey of ten thousand yoga classes. In my yoga classes, I guide people to get curious about their physical, mental and emotional states. A typical class will include meditation, alignment cues, breathwork, mantras and mudras as well as hard-won life wisdom sprinkled throughout. I’m known for my thoughtful creative sequencing and nurturing yoga classes that invite you to be as you are in an atmosphere of complete acceptance.
