My Yoga Practice started earnestly developing in 2002.

• Practice informed by an emphasis in healing and deep listening, as well as interpersonal connection, rituals, voice and self empowerment. Deep reverence for the forgotten wisdom of nature and our ancestors.
• Practice amplified by meditation, dance, and Reiki. Yoga for Stress and Relaxation.
• Practice presented as lighthearted, friendly medicine, peppered in Sanskrit, and sometimes Spanish.
• Founded on Classical and Hatha Yoga Theory, motivated by pranayama and alignment.
• Let us play with the comedy and poetry of the body. Let us move through the drama of the body.

My Story

Physical Pain has been one of my greatest teachers, allowing for enhanced self awareness. I have utilized yoga in order to confront physical pain as it appears in the body and negotiate with it. Wrestling with the inevitability of pain has ironically brought more whimsy and light into my life. Yoga has been the remedy as well as the administration of the remedy that allows me to withstand life’s challenges. In this way, each day becomes its own unique manifestation of the Sun Salutation.

Some of my other favorite Teachers include: John Perry (Oregon), Sri Tumulai Krishnamacharya, Dr. Suma Satyan and Dr. Sathya Narayanan, (Aditya Ayurvedic Ashram Hospital, India), Peter Francyk, Erin Menut (Vermont), Erin Geeseman Rabkhe (Utah), Thich Naht Hanh, Alan Watts, Allen Ginsberg, Oscar Wilde, Maya Angelou.
