My 200 hour Training was under the direction of Susan Hamadock, Silver Lotus Training Institute program, which combines elements of Body-Mind psychology with hatha yoga. The program encouraged integration of body/mind/spirit with the deep understanding / study of the Self (Svadhyaya). My 500 hour training was competed when the YA allowed a student to combine more than one school of thought . practice. This allowed me to train with various teachers in different yoga styles across the US.  My 500 hour training combined Svadhyaya Yoga and the Iyengar and Kripalu traditions.  I am certified as an E-RYT 500 with the YA.  I am inspired and combine elements from various yoga traditions and encourages students to be aware of their bodies (koshas), breath, and to understand the mechanism of each asana.  I encourage my students to realize "you are just where you are",  and to never compete with themself, or judge themselves. Each body is different so each person will be coached to find the comfort within their own body.  No two people will experience yoga the same way

My classes offer a welcoming, fun and safe environment where one can find peace in their body and mind, through traditional yoga practices.  They will always feel welcomed, accepted, and celebrated for their Authentic Self. Every Body is welcomed. No judgment, no competition.....Just Be You, and Find Your Center...
