I took my first yoga class in college to fulfill a gym credit. And I came away with so much more. In the years that followed, I explored a variety of yoga styles, beginning with Vinyasa Flow in my first teacher training, then studying Body Balance Yoga, Kripalu, Subtle Yoga and others. Yoga was a way to stay flexible and develop balance and grace in life, active and outdoors, and also as a dancer of modern and middle eastern dance.

From being an educator in children's theater and environmental education, it was natural step into teaching yoga. I've taught a range of students, from children to seniors, with a range of abilities. My classes make use of props and modifications to meet each student at their level of ability -- because I believe yoga truly is for every body. My teaching style is inspired by the Happy Buddha, arms in the air and broadly smiling, lighthearted and playful.
