I started practicing yoga many years ago because of its benefits for the back and neck difficulties I was experiencing, and soon discovered that the benefits were far greater than just addressing my physical well-being. For me, yoga has become an avenue for self-knowledge, self-love, awareness and physical well-being. I have a masters in curriculum and have been in education teaching students and adults for over twenty years, becoming a certified yoga instructor was the perfect choice for me. I received my 200-hour and 500 hour Yoga Alliance Certification through Namah Shivaya Yoga.

Since yoga is very much a personal experience and one based on levels of ability, my endeavor is to teach to the needs of individual students by modifying poses. My classes are designed for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners. Each class focuses on proper alignment and breathing techniques, with an emphasis on core body strength. My goal as an instructor is for all of my students to experience the full benefits of  yoga.
