A little about me
I’ve been teaching yoga for over 18 years & am 200 hour trained with a focus on alignment. I call yoga “my first love” of movement – having studied it since I took my first class as a teenager. In each class I teach I focus on serving those who show up, giving them whatever wisdom I’ve learned, calling out their own goodness, and creating a space for each body to cultivate their strength, feel loved, recenter and leave feeling more alive. In my classes you can feel safe, seen, and gain strength & love for your body as it is. Namaste.
