I believe wholeheartedly that the breath holds the key to bringing together the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga…ultimately leading to total transformation.  I have been teaching yoga in St Louis since 1998 and have over 15,000 hours of teaching experience with students of all ages and abilities. I am a 500-hour Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance and am also  certified yoga therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists. 

My classes focus on connecting breath with movement to create a meditation in motion. I view my students as snowflakes…meaning no two students bodies are exactly alike. Through my teaching, students learn how to modify the poses for their unique make up. I have a respectful and compassionate style which encourages students to alter the practice as needed based on whatever they may have going on.  I think most of us take things too seriously, so I bring a lighthearted attitude to the yoga mat that helps make yoga enjoyable and accessible to everyone! I strive to inspire, challenge and empower students to take responsibility for their practice…on and off the yoga mat.  I teach group classes in person and online, specialty classes/workshops, customized private lessons, chair yoga for seniors and special populations.  I love mentoring yoga teachers and supporting the deepening and broadening of skills. 

I am grateful to the thousands of students over the years who have been my greatest teachers, and also to all the wonderful instructors whose wisdom have informed my teaching.  I look forward to seeing you on the mat!
