Who/what influences your teaching and practice currently?

Overall my teaching is influenced by my teachers Julie Rader, Jo Tastula, Shiva Ray, Annie Carpenter. I am also deeply influenced by the present moment. The changing of the seasons, astrology, my intuition and my students energy are always a guiding force. My classes usually mirror my personal practice because I know we are all connected, kindred spirits riding the wave of life together.

How do you apply yoga practice to your every day life?

Our yoga practice mirrors life in the sense that it is a beautiful dance between control and surrender. And learning when to control and when to surrender becomes part of the open ended exploration of your being. This along with other lessons learned on the mat, like patience, acceptance, stillness, inner strength, will follow us out into our daily life. Ultimately I believe that "living your yoga" means living a life in alignment with what's best for your mind, body and spirit. While also being aware and mindful of what’s best for our planet and each other. When you live your yoga, not only do you benefit but you are contributing to the greater good of all.

What is a fun fact about you?

I come from a family of generational healers, on my Mothers side. I am honored to walk the path with them and carry their wisdom and teachings with me.

What can students expect from your class?

My teaching style is Vinyasa based. I am an intuitive teacher, meaning I always align with the energy in the room, and teach to what is needed in that moment. I give clear, precise alignment cues, and hands on adjustments. I keep you connected to your breath, which is the foundation of your practice. My classes are a combination of physical and spiritual work. My goal is to guide you home to your powerful self. To that place inside where you hold all the answers. My classes will challenge you to stay present in your effort and your ease, as we flow through smart, creative sequences, unlocking your inner force. I am there to guide you breath by breath, and hold space for you to grow and expand past your current structures of knowing.

All levels are welcome.
