As a second degree black belt and yoga practitioner for over ten years, I have a deep appreciation for the human body, and the way we honor it through movement, with care. The body holds ancient wisdom, as our portal between the tangible realm of the physical world and the intangible realms of consciousness itself. As such, the breath is the vehicle that allows us to drop into conscious presence, and the asanas (physical postures in yoga) serve as part of our roadmap to deeper awareness, stability, and connection with ourselves and one another.
I teach a simple, beginner-friendly, breath-focused class, drawing from Ashtanga sequencing and the Meridian Yoga Technique (MYT). Each class incorporates meditation and pranayama (breathwork), for a well-rounded practice that helps the practitioner come to a deeper state of awareness. This practice blends the polarities and synchronicities of different yogic traditions, both modern and ancient, connected by the primary objective to bring awareness to the true nature of the self: the basic goodness that exists within all beings.
All classes are trauma-informed: prioritizing creating a safe and open space for students to feel at home within their bodies and connect with the present moment: cultivating bodily, mental, and emotional awareness, compassion towards oneself and others, and creating a sense of peace from within.

May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti || ॐ शान्ति:
Peace Peace Peace
