Alignment-based Hatha Yoga teacher known for classes that progressively build toward a fun and challenging apex pose. Each class ties into the bigger picture of how to be a happy and thoughtful human being in this world; yoga is about awareness and cultivating the skill of (accurate and kind) self-reflection.

Each month my classes focus on transformation by exploring a group of poses that engender a certain energetic effect or by gradually building towards a pose that embodies growth and expansion beyond perceived capabilities. My belief is that with consistent practice of solid alignment principles and actions you can experience change. Injuries are regarded as messengers; they herald the exact path you need to take next to expand the foundation of your entire practice. You are invited to use the classroom as a laboratory for experimenting with new configurations in how you react to the state of your life. The physical poses are donned like costumes and then embodied through the breath and power of your imagination so that you may be the Warrior, the Child, the Bridge or the Tree.

In my classes you can expect consistent, progressive alignment cues that build to a logical apex. To that end I use demonstration, partner work, anatomical explanations and story-telling. Each class is symbolically, physically and spiritually cohesive.

In addition to teaching group classes, I specialize in working with students who have scoliosis and mothers, both pregnant and postpartum. Privates and semi-privates are available in-studio or at your home.

(Alignment refers to positioning your body in an efficient, safe and powerful way so that you work with gravity and the way your body was designed to move.)
