"Just pay attention to your breath and notice what's going on inside you without feeling like you have to change it, just sit with yourself". These were my father's words to me as he taught me at age 10 the practice of pranayama and meditation. He wasn't a yoga teacher but a vice cop who taught himself what seemed like a natural response to the stress in his life. This was the catalyst and introduction to what has been and continues to be an incredible journey.
Diagnosed with degenerative disc disease at age 15, I came to asana as way to manage pain. I taught others, in my basement, in their basement, wherever. I became certified in 1999 when I completed Jonny Kest's Center for Yoga Teacher Training. Since then, I've taught over 1,000 hours and am registered with the Yoga Alliance as an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher, ERYT. Initially, I founded Dragonfly Yoga in Cleveland, OH. My teaching included all levels and conditions of student's at my studio as well as The Cleveland Clinic Foundation and University Hospitals.
I've been fortunate to study and practice with many amazing teachers locally and nationally. I've also learned so much from my students as well as self study.
My biggest influences are Patanjali, Sarah Powers, Bob Marley and nature.
