TEACHING STYLE: I love to take my students on an intuitive journey, bringing in all elements of my training and decades-long practice to create a full yogic experience in every class I teach.  I want my students to find what I found on the mat:  a path to true inner peace.  I believe that yoga is about so much more than the physical poses – it is a golden thread that leads to self-realization, divine connection, and comfort in our own skin.  What a gift it is to teach.

INSPIRED BY:  All the true spiritual warriors who have walked before me.

FAVORITE POSE: Downward facing dog.  If I could only do one yoga pose ever again, it’d be this one.  I think there’s a reason dogs are into it:  it gets it all.

A RECURRING THOUGHT: “Where did I put my ___ ?”  Just fill in the blank with whatever item I daily misplace. . . if I had all the time back I’ve spent looking for my phone, I’d live 5 years longer.

FAVORITE QUOTE: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” – Rumi

A NON-NEGOTIABLE: Honesty.

MOUNTAINS OR BEACH: Whichever is calling.  They’re both my jam.
