As a yoga teacher, I strive to bring thoughtfulness and sensitivity to the yoga space so that students may attend to their own inquiry and get what it is they need from the practice. The classes I teach combine detailed alignment, fluid breath, somatic movement, and heart-based themes. In addition to my experience as an instructor, I facilitate a signature Restorative yoga teacher training program.
I have an intense curiosity to understand what it means to be human. I am inspired by people’s resiliency and creativity and the ways that they embody their truth through writing, movement, music & art. I am currently enrolled in the Master’s of Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Goddard College in Vermont where I am studying body-based psychotherapy.

My Approach
For Yoga teachers
As teachers, we are dedicated to our own studentship and the evolution of those who show up on their mats in our yoga classes. This means not only supporting practitioners through a physical asana practice, but creating space for student’s ability to feel and connect to their emotional body, while honoring the divinity inherent within
FOR curious students
I love to explore yoga poses progressively from their basic components to more complex forms. My classes combine detailed alignment points with somatic movement principles as a tool to locate your attention inside of the physical, emotional and energetic layers of the body. Emphasis on sensitive inquiry, conscientious breath and subtle body awareness will be the ground from which we explore our own embodied nature.
