I believe in the power of play. When we allow ourselves to experiment from a place of curiosity, free from pressure to perform, we inadvertently tap into our most receptive learning state. Navigating uncharted territory through a lens of light-heartedness and self-compassion on our mats primes us to move through life with a sort of grace and mindfulness that I believe yoga was designed to help us foster.

I completed my first YTT a little over a decade ago, in a style of Ashtanga influenced yoga called SATTVA, and have since been influenced by teachers of Iyengar hatha yoga and pranayama, my movement practice as a professional multi hula hoop circus artist, and my comprehensive education in body mechanics and years of hands on bodywork as an RMT.

I look forward to meeting you on the mat and sharing safe container for play, self-discovery, and inner-outer connection!
