My teaching is rooted in the fact that yoga can be safe and accessible to all body types and levels of ability; I am committed to helping others discover more ease in their daily lives by creating intelligently designed classes shared with joy.

I took my first yoga class at Forward Motion Yoga several years ago. As soon as I started, I was hooked, and started practicing yoga regularly. I originally began practicing yoga as a complementary form of exercise for my other physical activities, but as my knowledge and experience with yoga grew, the net of what I was taking away from the classes changed. The idea of movement directed by breath resonated deeply, as it connected back to my years in dance performance, and tied directly into my background of anatomy and psychology. Through yoga, I rediscovered my love of human anatomy, and reveled in the extraordinary sense of calm and inner balance that is achieved when the body is properly aligned with breath and spirit. 
Teaching yoga has become my passion, and I strive to create classes that include elements of fun, with themes that are relevant to and supportive of my students’ lives outside the studio.

Namaste!
