I started practicing yoga as a teenager, first due to injury and then I just couldn’t stop. Since the beginning, I’ve been captivated by yoga’s demanding philosophies, enchanting myths, and the sophistication of its myriad mental, physical, and spiritual practices. I’ve studied with leading teachers in a wide variety of disciplines - movement, anatomy, meditation, Sanskrit, philosophy, and history. As a teacher, I try to pass these lessons on to students and other teachers, along with my own interpretations. As someone with numerous limitations, I’m sensitive to my students’ limitations in turn. I love to collaborate with students to find the most suitable adaptations to sustain their practice. Additionally, I’m also a trained massage therapist and Pilates instructor, and I draw on these modalities extensively in my yoga classes.
