Summary

Experienced yoga instructor in studio and retreat settings. Dedicated to an inclusive, "come-as-you-are" yoga experience; ensuring that all levels, ages, ethnicities and walks of life feel met and acknowledged in their practice. I specialize in a "Vibey Vinyasa Flow" yoga to work the body and soul. Set to fun playlists that guide students on a journey building strength and equanimity, my teaching incorporates fundamental yoga practices with an emphasis on pranayama and mudras to encourage others to cultivate conversations with their own bodies and making spiritual concepts accessible through asana. Bringing a sense of light-heartedness to the asana, my love of yoga shines through mindful sequencing, setting students up for success and designed with the intention of shifting energy into alignment.
