The world of Yoga is vast, diverse, and deeply rooted in profound philosophical traditions of India. In the West we are most familiar with Hatha Yoga, which focuses on physical postures, or asana. But yoga is more than a sophisticated system of exercise, or a method of health cultivation, although it definitely is both those things. Yoga offers something even more rare and valuable: a doorway into the fullness of our experience as embodied beings. It invites us to relax, to feel, to breathe and move with mindfulness, and to cultivate awareness of our present experience. It provides us a space to explore, to challenge ourselves, to grow, and to discover and align with our deepest aspirations. And it is fun! 

My own yoga training has explored approaches that blend the wisdom of traditional yoga asana practice with an exploration of anatomy and therapeutics. I completed teacher trainings with Todd Norian and Jenny Otto, and have also studied with numerous other teachers of yoga, therapeutic movement, qigong, and dance. All of these influences, integrated through my own personal practice, are brought to my work with individual students.

Private lessons and Yoga Therapy: I work with students in private sessions to focus on their individual goals—addressing injuries, physical restrictions or limitations, or gaining a deeper understanding of alignment and developing healthier postural patterns. We work together to develop and evolve a therapeutic home practice tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. My wish for my students is that they will become knowledgeable and confident enough in their own practice that yoga can serve them as a lifelong resource for self care and self-discovery.
