As a serious yoga student, I am fascinated with the ability of yoga to make deep and lasting changes in people's lives, and I enjoy sharing the opportunity with others.

My classes focus on Kripalu yoga — a meditation in motion — and include elements of yoga therapy as well. We practice classic yoga postures combined with deep breathing exercises that will both stretch and strengthen the body as well as calm and quiet the mind. We move slowly in and out of the postures for safe alignment and hold them long enough to feel the benefits and build up strength. The classes start with a gentle warm-up, move to deeper stretches, and end with a blissful, peaceful relaxation.

I also offer unique yoga vacations in Costa Rica, Italy, and Spain. We do yoga twice a day and immerse ourselves in the culture, food, activities, and beautiful surroundings of our host country.

I have been teaching since 2001 and received my certification from Kripalu Center in Lenox, Mass., in 2002. In addition to my studies at Kripalu with fabulous teachers like Naresh Ron King, Yoganand Michael Carroll, Tarika, and Vidya Carolyn Dell'uomo, I've had the privilege of learning from some of the country's most noted instructors, including Rodney Yee, Gary Kraftsow, Angela Farmer, Stephen Cope, and others. I am currently working toward my certification as a Yoga Therapist and have experience helping people with neck pain, migraines, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, hip and back pain, and more.

I am also a certified Reiki master, providing a gentle, yet powerful method of natural healing for body, mind, and spirit. I've worked with issues ranging from grief, stress, disease, pre- & post- op, past trauma, etc.
