BIO

I took my first yoga class in 2013 and was instantly captivated. The sweaty, power flows I began attending daily quickly became my favorite counterbalance to my time spent behind a desk and my mind’s constant chatter. In 2016 I completed my first 200 hour teacher training and began teaching in Boston.

In the years that followed, I completed two 300 hour Vinyasa trainings, traveled to New York, Kripalu, and Greece for week-long intensives, and achieved my certification as a Katonah Yoga® instructor. I am fortunate to have worked with master teachers including Ally Bogard, Natasha Rizopoulos, and Abbie Galvin. Always a student first, I continue to study with Emily Jonas.

I infuse ideas and theory from all of my studies into my practice and teaching. Vinyasa Flow reminds me of the power in linking focused attention, rhythmical breathing, and intentional movement as a tool for responding to life with more choice. Heated Flow shows me how to practice discipline, self-study, and self-trust in the face of challenging circumstances. Katonah Yoga® helps me see the value in using well-organized maps and good technique as a route to finding more freedom and achieving potential.

In my classes, I invite students to get out of their comfort zones and welcome in their curiosity, not to become better shape-performers, but to learn tools and techniques that can help to glean insight, foster well-being, and cultivate joy.
