I believe that movement and breath can be powerful healing tools. Having worked as a counselor and advocate, I draw upon that experience to create a safe and empowering space. While I tend towards more slow and deliberate movement–like restorative, yin, and functional yoga–my teaching is ultimately guided by each student’s needs.

Offering a range of options in each practice, I encourage students to choose poses and breathwork that work for them.

I’m curious about the patterns of tension our bodies hold, and the way that mindful movement and breath help to unwind them.
