I believe that Yoga is for everyone, regardless of age, health, or experience. My slow flow classes blend breath work, relaxation, philosophy, and humor, and focus on developing practical strength, flexibility and balance. Using my background in mat Pilates, I incorporate core exercise with traditional yoga sequences to promote a well-balanced class that works the body as well as the mind.
I am a certified “Yoga Meets DanceTM” instructor. Offering a lighthearted energetic program that blends yoga, free form dance, and deep relaxation to open the heart and refresh the spirit. No experience required!
I was introduced to Yoga in 2008 and my practice quickly became a personal journey of healing and self-awareness. My passion for yoga continued to grow and in 2009 I completed my 200 Hour Yoga teacher certification through the Marianne Wells Yoga Alliance School in Costa Rica.
Motivated to offer this practice as an alternative health therapy, I completed the 300 Hour Yoga Therapy certification from the Ananda Seva Mission in Northern California in 2011.
I am registered with the Yoga Alliance RYT500 and continue to pursue new applications of yoga – for all populations. I have been fortunate to attend trainings with such great teachers as Rod Stryker and John Friend and I am grateful for the opportunity to share this powerful practice with others. “Off the Mat”, I apply the teachings of yoga in the corporate world where I have served as a software consultant for many years.
My hobbies include vacation travel, interior design, container gardening, camping, hiking, skiing and shopping.
I look forward to meeting you as the journey continues!
