Yoga, Meditation & Mindfulness

I found my way to yoga and meditation 14 years ago when my roommate from college brought me to a vinyasa yoga class for the first time. I had never moved mindfully or meditated before in my life and I dove headfirst into practicing and learning as much as I could.

In my early 20s, I came to rely on yoga as a lifestyle when I experienced many mental health issues (including PTSD, panic attacks/ disorder, derealization, anxiety & depression) and deepened my practice to include more than just yoga postures, meditation, and pranayama (breathwork). The past fourteen years, I’ve slowly learned to weave yoga philosophy, mindfulness, and spirituality into the way I live my life each day. I love to share this through my writing and storytelling, in my classes, and with anyone interested.

I have been teaching yoga, meditation, & mindfulness for 5+ years and have 500+ Hours of Certifications (Yoga Alliance RYT® 500) such as Advanced Meditation & Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and various styles of Yoga including Hatha, Vinyasa, Gentle, Restorative, Yin, and more. I have experience teaching both group and private yoga & meditation classes to people with all experiences of yoga. I love to teach Intuitive Flows and Restorative/ Yin/ Gentle yoga. I generally mix in a combination of Meditation/Visualization/ Pranayama with journaling/ self-inquiry + mindful practices in class.

Yoga is far more than just movement and I am committed to sharing its benefits and roots with others. My goal as a teacher is to create a safe and supportive environment where students with all backgrounds, bodies, and experiences can explore their practice and apply what they learn to live more mindful and fulfilling lives, off the mat. Practice, like life, constantly shifts and changes, and I like to equip my students with the practical tools to meet themselves where they are at, no matter what season of their life they are experiencing.
