After finding yoga in 2001 as a way to ease the pain of scoliosis, I have
become enchanted by the subtle connections between the breath, body,
mind, and emotions. I encourage each and every students to honor where
they are in their bodies today, regardless of where they think they should
be and no matter what their physical ability, limitation, or injury. Everyone
can open their body and mind to the practice and utilize it as a way to heal
physically and emotionally.
By blending both the traditional Hatha philosophy and alignment principles
with the subtle energy work of Integrative Yoga Therapy, I hope to create
class experiences that take you deep within yourself to find your own inner
voice. I try to imbibe all of my classes with humor and compassion as a
reminder to all that yoga is the divine dance between nature and spirit.
As a long-time student of many different paths including Earth religion,
Reiki, Buddhism, and Vedanta, I enjoy introducing these old ideas in new
and inspiring ways. In order for us to truly understand the journey of
Yoga, our minds as well as our bodies must be engaged and supple; open
as well as grounded.
I am honored to have studied with some wonderful, kind, and talented
yoga teachers over the years, including Richard Rosen, Ann Dyer, Vickie
Russell Bell, JoAnn Lyons, Joseph & Lillian LePage, and Rodney Yee. May
their lights continue to shine brightly.
