Introduction: I don't just design a sequence for you to mimic; I teach you about what your body is doing while you move it, how your bones and muscles fit together, what the common pitfalls are, and how to make a pose work for your body, not the other way around. I'm trained in anatomy and pay special attention to explaining the cues you always hear other teachers gloss over, so you'll never leave a session wondering if you missed something. I'm also pretty dang funny. I'm also trained in restorative yoga -- called "fancy nap time" by some, though deep relaxation is hard work too. If you need help decompressing and connecting your breath to your body more gently, this is the practice for you. My favorite thing is acquainting people with their bodies; I'm still getting to know mine, years after beginning a yoga practice, and it continues to change. I live in my head a lot of the time -- when I'm not teaching yoga, I'm a writer and editor -- so discovering brain-body points of contact and helping my students find them too is immensely satisfying.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
An hourly lesson starts at $45, but package discounts are available, as are first-time discounts for new clients.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received a 200-hour certification from YogaWorks and continued my training in private lessons with my teacher and a 108-hour anatomy course in New York. I've continued to practice in classes and at home in a variety of disciplines, typically returning to a playful, mindful, anatomy-aware slow flow practice.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I didn't think I wanted to be a teacher when I went to teacher training; I just wanted to get deeper into my own practice. But from the first exercise in class, when we taught each other how to raise our arms into urdhva hastasana -- sounds easy, but teaching the simplest stuff is hard! -- I got hooked. I've been a teacher of other subjects, so it makes sense that I'd migrate to this field too. I love helping a student discover strength and ease they couldn't access before. And teaching helps me be the best version of myself, too.
