My Teaching Style
In my classes I encourage my students to push themselves while still listening to their body - whether that means intensifying an exercise, ditching weights, or taking a minute to breathe and reset. Each class is set to a curated mix of certified bops that will help you get out of your head and focus on that mind-body connection.
Experience
My barre journey started a little over a year ago when a friend suggested we try out a barre class instead of yoga one evening. I had no idea what to expect and was kind of nervous, but having studied ballet for 13 years growing up, I figured I wouldn’t feel too out of place … fast forward 45 minutes to the end of class, and I was obsessed - I loved the pace and vibe of the workout and the clear balletic influence. Soon I was going to every barre class that fit my schedule and signed up for teacher training the second it was announced. Now as an instructor, I get to share my love for barre with all of you!

Why I Love Dragonfly
I was struggling to find a new yoga studio after my old one closed during COVID, and was getting pretty frustrated until I found Dragonfly. I felt welcome the second I walked in, and was pleasantly surprised by how the instructors all made me feel safe, while still constantly pushing me to meet my edge. Beyond feeling at home, the wide range of classes offered at Dragonfly has encouraged me to explore different types of yoga and fitness classes, including barre.
Little Known Fact About Me
While I love teaching barre, my main gig is running a small jewelry brand called tiny tuna!
