My Teaching Style
My teaching style is rooted in my personal practice: Yoga and meditation serve as vehicles for connection, to myself and to others. I am inspired by the billions of students over millennia who have employed this practice, created 5,000 years ago in India, which continues to remind us of the importance of presence, compassion, and unity. As a yoga instructor in the year 2026, I aim to ground my teaching in this origin with modern twists, like a playlist featuring SZA and Chapell Roan. Yoga is the best gift I give myself each week, and I love to return that gift to my students through teaching.
Experience
I found yoga as a brand new college graduate wanting to learn how to become a better teacher and caregiver. I completed my RYT-200 hour certification through Breathe for Change, a non-profit created at UW-Madison, dedicated to imbibing the benefits of mindfulness and the ancient practice of yoga into school settings. Over the past decade as an instructor, I've taught yoga for people of all ages (including babies) and in a myriad of different settings, including public parks, libraries, and studios, from D.C. to Chicago to Cincinnati. More recently, I've expanded my repertoire into teaching sculpt and pilates classes.
Favorite Pose
Half Moon: I love how balancing poses can help us to build self-trust and witness progress in real-time. During my yoga teacher training, I learned that the poses we "hate" the most are often the ones we need the most.
Favorite Quote

Why I Love Dragonfly
No matter your experience or skill level, whether you're here for the pilates abs or you're a headstanding-yogi, you have a place here, and you belong.
Little Known Fact About Me
I have two boy cats who are twins and best friends named Bean and Sprout. This is not a "little known fact," because I will bring it up whenever I get the chance, and show you a picture if you stay still for long enough.
