I have multiple accreditation in children’s yoga, and my E-RYT200 and RPYT (perinatal) with Yoga Alliance. My original RYT200 is from  the Himalayan tradition-based Yoga Well Center of San Diego and the RPYT is from Becalmed Yoga. I most recently received my 65 hour certification from Yoga Heals Us in Therapeutic Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis (aka Teaching Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis). I have a vested interest in understanding and explaining the connection between yoga functional movement to maximize the mind/body/breath experience.

For children my style incorporates music, books, and crafts into yoga-oriented play, where I (hope to) inspire mindfulness, and help them learn how to energize as well as calm with the breath.

For adults I utilize an eclectic yoga blend of styles, from traditional Hatha to Iyengar, Anusara, Yin, Vinyasa, Restorative (and more), exercise the body and help calm the mind. An emphasis on yogic breathing with instruction in pranayama techniques, discussion of pose alignment for best practice, and plenty of time in savasana round out the class experience. I’d like to believe my yoga “coaching” is body-positive, approachable, adaptable, and enjoyable!

I am also proud to be an Accessible Yoga Ambassador, part of a growing alliance of teachers that provide classes adapted for differently-abled and non-traditional yoga students.
