Professional Background
My love of a nice juicy stretch and the opportunity to move my body creatively is what originally brought me to yoga. As a teacher, I aspire to give my students that same freedom and to build a foundation for them to move more intelligently. Above all else, I aim to provide time to find pause, for all ages, both on and off the mat, to encourage a better understanding of the self.
Â
I’m passionate about reaching beyond the poses and making yoga accessible to everyone, including our littles. By starting to teach our children the focus and calm techniques that come along with this practice young, we set them up to become emotionally intelligent, balanced individuals. Aren’t those the kind of people we all want to be surrounded by? I’m a 200hr RYT and a 95hr RCYT.
Â
You can catch me teaching adult classes three days a week at Soma Cura and hosting private classes for both adults and kids through my own business, The Calm Coalition. Other than yoga, I’m an avid reader, nature lover and mother to an incredibly curious little girl.
