About
I specialize in what I call "mindful movement yoga." The movements will be very few and very slow at first. Once you've developed a sense of the anatomy and the breath, we can decide together how physical you want the practice to be, but my focus will always be on proper alignment in any pose and strong breath support. I enjoy teaching absolute beginners as well as intermediate or advancing students. I enjoy private, one-on-one lessons as well as group sessions. Regardless of who is there and what the expressed intent, I will keep bringing our time together back to the form and breath. This is, to me, the essence of a yoga practice.
Yoga, done for physical fitness or spiritual meditation or any other reasons, will change the person that you are. The alignments are, to me, very healing, and I feel gratified when my students tell me that they are experiencing less pain, easier mobility, and more confidence in their movements. Yoga improves breathing -- makes it deeper, more deliberate, and more powerful. It creates focus from nothing! There are a million reasons to love it, and I'm on board with all of them. Whether you want to use it to get fit, lose weight, find peace or become a better person, my answer is "yes."

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You have found me here, and you want to practice yoga. Send me an email with any question you have -- any! We will begin a dialogue here, on Thumbtack, and then we can continue that dialogue face-to-face in a preliminary session that lasts about an hour. In this session, I will do my best to respond to all of your questions, we will create a goal together, and we may even learn the first principles of breath, if time permits. From there, we will craft a schedule that works for both of us.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified instructor, and I have also team-taught two 200-hour training programs, the teachers of which now staff four studios. I've studied under some of the greatest Ashtanga instructors available today -- you can Google Kino McGregor, Maty Ezraty, and Matthew Darling if you want to know about Ashtanga or them personally. And I continue my daily practice and my informal education on my own. My next step will be to enroll in a 500-hour training program, which I hope to complete within the next few years.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was actually invited into this kind of work; I didn't originally pursue it. I was taking classes at a yoga studio and I began having daily conversations with the other students and teachers. One thing led to another, and within a few months, I was instructing. Never looked back. I truly enjoy helping someone tune into what's happening deep within her or his body; this process is magical and healing, and I believe it can change the world.
