Hello, Friend

I am a former ballet dancer, and began practicing yoga as a way to balance out the strictness of ballet technique.  I have been teaching yoga since1996, and  I have been practicing Ashtanga Yoga since 2001.  Since then, I have maintained a dedication to being a  lifelong  student of this practice.

I have studied with Annie Pace, David Keil, David Williams, Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor, Kino MacGregor, Dena Kingsberg, Laruga Glaser, David Swenson and Shelley Washington in my personal practice as well as my teaching practice.  As often as possible, I attend Ashtanga yoga workshops with David Swenson, who I consider my  primary teacher.

My classes are Ashtanga based, and are good  for beginners as well as seasoned practitioners.  I offer alternatives as I guide my students through their practice.

 I  have taught private clients and special yoga classes for Stress Management, Parkinson’s Disease, and Post Traumatic Stress.
