I came to the path of yoga as so many yogis do, on the heels of a personal struggle and in search of a way to balance my spiritual and material life.

What I have found in my practice has led to not only a profound transformation in the way I view the world, but more importantly, I have built a community around me of like-minded people with whom I enjoy working both personally and professionally.

From the beginning, my practice has been centered in the heart and that, I believe, is something my students feel when they take my class. It is always my intention to use intuition when I teach. Trying to tap into the needs of my students so that they may leave my class better for having been there- and what I receive from my students is more than I could have imagined when I began. The practice of yoga is a symbiotic exchange of energy that cracks open the heart and I am infinitely grateful to have found this path.
