HELLO & WELCOME
Yoga became part of my life many years ago...
The practice and dedication of meditation and the varied intentional movements that yoga offered, transformed my way of being in relationship with myself & with others and in relationship with the world around me.

Classes with me are a creative blending of my diverse yoga + meditation training...
I have had the honor to study with amazing teachers who uniquely inspire me, I also have a dedicated personal practice which continues to expand my experience and shape my offerings. My yoga journey has lead me to realize that every movement, every sequence, each breath or moment of stillness has a purpose. A practice with purpose shifts energy into a state of presence and peace. Something within begins to soften, life becomes lighter, more effortless. This effortless way of being is the underlying quality I aim to share.
