​

As a former dancer; physical conditioning was part of my everyday routine.  I was introduced to yoga in 2003 by one of my dance instructors as a way to further develop my core stability and to steady my wandering focus.  As a result, I grew to enjoy our weekly practices. 

 

It wasn't until I moved to New York City and began working at NY Loves Yoga on the Upper West Side, that I became further engaged and passionate about the yoga world.  I quickly noticed the powerful affect yoga had over my life both physically and mentally, and witnessed first-hand the powerful transformation of the students who attended the studio.

 

With a lifelong passion for self development, and the desire to help others be their best selves, I traveled to Bali, Indonesia to study the teachings of yoga with the renowned instructors Everett Newell & Katherine Girling (Zuna Yoga, www.zunayoga.com) where I completed their 200hr yoga teacher training program. I completed my 300 hr advanced yoga teacher training in 2020 with Yoga Shanti under the guidance of Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee. 

 

My group classes are accessible, effective and powerful.  Each class includes strong asana poses, focused breathing, live acoustic music and guided meditations. I also teach private yoga classes in NYC.
