My Teaching Style

I strive to teach classes where students feel challenged, supported and find what they need. I want students to walk away from class feeling strong, connected with their breath, and accomplished - along with a little bit of zen.

Experience

Having practiced yoga on and off for many years, I committed to my practice consistently in 2024. I also started teaching in June of 2025. Yoga allows me to learn more about myself and to create space. As a former runner, I find a lot of similarities with yoga. Like when I’m on a run and I think continuing to run isn’t possible, a breakthrough from persevering will occur. I experience this many times in my yoga practice and I love meeting that challenge. It’s a euphoric feeling and brings me back each time.

Favorite Pose

Needle is my favorite. I love the layers of finding the right balance, the challenge of strength and extension, and letting my head hang heavy.

Favorite Quote

“Happiness is not something ready made, it comes from our own actions.”
– Dahli Lama
