With a focus on harnessing strength, over flexibility, my style is for the masses.  I believe in functional transitions that are always changing yet consistently tap into core strength. My style is motivational. I pull inspiration from things as varied as the Yoga Sutras and my eternal fondness of Muhammad Ali.  I believe in a fluid practice that constantly "moves the cheese" but touches the entire body -- ending in a long, restful savasana.  

 

I have been practicing since 2001 and teaching since 2004.  I hold a 500hr certification from Laughing Lotus NYC with a 100HRs of training in yin and energy work.  I am also working toward a 300HR with Yoga Medicine.  These two programs touch on the opposite spectrums of "what I love about yoga" --- it's innate ability to heal and connect us to our physical body and it's ancient wisdom of what's beyond the physical body.  

I practice yoga because it is a saving grace that brings clarity, adjusts my attitude and reminds me every time how strong I can be. I teach in hopes that everyone leaves their mat feeling the same way.
