What should students expect in your classes?
Students can expect a class that encourages curiosity, introspection, playfulness, laughter, and presence. Movement that includes a balance of strength and nourishment at a slower pace that offers space to experience connection and invite intention. My sequences often build towards a peak pose or fall into a general theme which carries through the class. Meditative practices and pranayama are incorporated in a way that compliments the focus of each class.
When you're not practicing yoga, what do you like to do?
I love spending time with loved ones and my cats. I love music, tea, being in nature, laughing and learning.
“My priority is to have my students feel safe, accepted, and included in my class.”
What do you love yoga?
Yoga is my place to slow down and reconnect with who I am and where I am right now. It offers me an endless amount of tools to not only cope with the stress of life but to experience life in a deeper and more fulfilling way.
What challenges you in yoga?
Balancing the line between challenging myself and sticking to what I know feels good, on and off the mat.
What are the MOST important things you want your students to walk out of your class having experienced?
My priority is to have my students feel safe, accepted, and included in my class. Without a sense of safety, a sense of connection is not possible. Connection to self, others, and life, is the goal. I want my students to walk out of class feeling more in touch with themselves than when they walked in, whatever that looks like for them at the time and in any amount. With that awareness, I know that the practice will follow them off the mat.
What/who inspires you?
People who lead with love, passion, and truth. Moments of stillness and connection.
