In college as a dance major, yoga was included in our curriculum. It was love at first asana.

After many years of being a nomad practitioner, I was fortunate to find a “home” & incredible community at an NYC based Vinyasa school. Once I began practicing there, a new realm opened. I began to understand the mind-body connection and that yoga is more than asana. Yoga is a practice of movement, 100%, but not just OF the body, but WITHIN the body. Yoga is energetically everywhere, not just confined to the mat – it is the way we integrate it into our lives. I think through practice we can uncover more about ourselves and the universe. We can gain the ability to take our yoga, as if in a container, and integrate it into our lives; that container being the self.

I teach yoga to guide others to feel the energy and beauty they possess and can generate from their movement. I believe everyone has the capability to integrate their discoveries into their lives to live a fuller, more cognizant, existence. I share strong alignment cues to assist in asana development and injury prevention, but I believe it doesn’t matter what shape you take, it only matters how that shape makes you feel. I often bring attention to remaining present, so we can feel our strength, our patience, and our growth, inward and outward. I am drawn to Vinyasa because of it’s flowing sequences and smooth transitions. I have a strong dance background and the two feel relatable; inspiring creativity, moving with intention, feeling expansion in all directions, and finding the freedom to let go within motion. Asana practice feels like a moving meditation and pranayama a beautiful articulation of breath. The 8 limbs of yoga provide me with a powerful structure to continually explore.
