What brought you to yoga? 

I’ve always had a flirtation with yoga. I’d take a few classes here and there, but nothing ever really stuck until I found a daily practice during the pandemic. The hour I rolled out my mat became sacred to me. A moment to come back to myself—space to move, to breathe, to heal. Throughout my time practicing, I’ve had some high highs and low lows, but yoga remains my constant and carries me through.

Why do you love teaching yoga? 

This practice has been truly transformative for me, and what I love most about teaching yoga is seeing my students have their own breakthroughs.  Teaching yoga allows me to be in service to others as they show up for themselves, explore within, and uncover their truest Self. Yoga has changed my life in ways I never expected. What began as a physical exploration on my mat quickly became something much deeper and more expansive; it has spilled off of my mat and into every aspect of my life. It’s really an honor to be able to share this ancient, healing practice with others and watch them grow as they dive deep.

What do you want people to know about your class? 

As someone who practices daily, I know that our bodies, minds, and spirits show up differently each time we roll out our mat. In my class, you're invited to ask your body how it's showing up in that moment and then move from that space. Sometimes that will mean kicking your own ass as a means to get out of your own head; other times, it'll mean honoring softness and ease.  However you're showing up, come practice with me exactly as you are.

Do you have a favorite posture? If so, which one and why?

Natarajasana—the pose that reminds me that life is a dance. Full of ups and downs; of stillness + movement; days and nights; birth, life, and death. I’ve always been obsessed with this pose, but it hits more than ever in my early-thirties, where I’m in both my burn it down era and my build something new and more beautiful era.
