I teach yoga, and I teach it the way I live: as an art and as a practice without perfectionism.

I have practiced yoga since high school, but never thought I’d become a teacher. Over 20 years, I pursued a varied career in the food industry.

Then I went on a yoga retreat in Esalen and my world expanded.

I went home, completed my 200-hour training with Janet Stone in 2024, and have been teaching ever since. Group vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, and private sessions, with a lot of people who swore they weren’t yogis.

The SoCal Yoga aesthetic and body, the Instagram worthy pose- that was never the point. The mat is where we practice the things we need in life: staying when it’s uncomfortable, softening when you want to grip, noticing the moment before you react. Svadhyaya, self-study, is the practice I return to most.

How am I showing up? Where do I struggle, and where do I find ease? It’s the same questions whether you’re on the mat or trying to get your kids to school on time.

This practice can be transformative for your body and your mind if you’ll let it. I’d love to show you how.
