Summary
As a practitioner of Karma Yoga, the yoga of selfless service, I see teaching as an offering, a way to support others on their path while deepening my own. Yoga is learning to live with greater awareness, compassion and connection. My teaching offers a space to breath with presence and move with joy. The practice can be grounding, invigorating, cleansing, even playful, but always an invitation 2B. Yoga brings us back to the heart of things; the journey is short, do your duty, laugh a lot and love always.

Skills
- Guide and inspire students on the power and transformative magic of a consistent yoga practice, awakening peace and health
- Yoga classes begin and end with my wisdom- inspired instruction, cultivating stillness and silence-the sacred space where true transformation begins
- Highly attuned and experienced in designing yoga sequences that thoughtfully integrate asanas with complimentary flexibility, mobility and strength-based movements
- Skilled in breaking down asanas into accessible movements and preparatory exercises, guiding students step-by-step toward safely and confidently achieving their individual expression of each pose
- Rooted in asana, my teaching goes beyond the physical-infusing mindfulness into movement to cultivate presence, self awareness and a deeper connection to the practice
- Deeply aware of individual needs and the flow of energy in the space, I bring a unique ability to meet each student where they are-creating an inclusive and empowering environment for all practices
