"I learned a long time ago that our lives exist in our relationships. We are all, in our own way, related to everyone and everything in our lives. To be related to something means you have a connection to it. The life we are living is based in our connections. With the understanding that yoga is connection, we are all living a life of yoga.

In 2002, I found my first yoga class in the yellow pages. There were 5 listings. I called the first one in the list and went to class the next day.

I am certified in Original Hot Yoga, Vinyasa, Yin and Meditation/Nidra. I have been a full-time yoga teacher since 2004.

My relationship with yoga has evolved as I have. Initially, it was a way to connect, move, feel good in my body and maybe find some clarity. While all of that is still a part of my practice, it has grown into a way of life - a consistent pursuit of living a life of balance."

Retreat Specialties

The retreats that I offer are designed to give the perfect balance of yoga, relaxation, and adventure. Each day provides ample time for guests to make their week their own. In addition to yoga classes, workshop-style discussions are held each day to explore topics beyond the body and asana.

Teaching Specialties

Students can expect precise instruction, spoken with simple words, using description and imagery that make sense all aimed at the most successful experience practicing yoga. You may be in the beginning stages of your yoga practice or someone who has years of experience and knowledge. You will be challenged to use your body as its meant to be used so that you thrive in your practice and feel good in your body. You will be taught with precision so that you have clarity.

What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

Living a life of balance. Like the pendulum swinging equally and in opposition, I thrive when I allow all possible experiences. In my work, relationships, my use of language, my emotions, thoughts and actions - balance is not a place to arrive, it is a constant exploration of what is possible and what is available.

Who do you look up to ? Who has helped you the most along your teacher / retreat leader journey?

I have had the honor to learn from so many talented and inspiring teachers, coaches and leaders. They have all, in their own way, contributed to my growth. I have immense love and appreciation for them all.
