After 15 yrs of competitive running, I discovered yoga in 1993 and began practicing to DVDs before my long days in advertising began. I began to practice in the city as yoga studios began to open and in 2002 after the birth of my first child, I enrolled in Rod Stryker's Teacher Training. I have been practicing daily ever since. I have had the unique privilege of studying with Paul Weitz, Baron Baptiste, Rolf Gates, Paul Grilley, Tim Miller and met my teacher David Swenson in 2006. After meeting David, I have been practicing Ashtanga Yoga faithfully, and completed David Swenson's Ashtanga Teacher Training. Approaching the practice with compassion and humor have become valuable tools for me both on and off the mat. I am honored to teach Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa Flow and Niyama Hot Yoga. Expect lots of challenge in each class with plenty of room to create your own level of practice. I love to break down the more complex poses into attainable pieces, and I encourage you to never take yourself too seriously and to practice with a generous spirit. As David taught me, I believe a yogi is someone who leaves the world a little better than how they found it. I am a Lululemon Ambassador (4+ yrs) and was chosen to attend the International Ambassador Summit in Vancouver. I have a fabulous husband and three wonderful kids who to help me practice daily.
