The Practice of Yoga
As a yoga teacher, I’ve had many amazing opportunities to work with all different types of people at various levels of practice. My passion for teaching is always rewarded by the aid I’m able to give my students. I’m humbled and grateful to forever be a student of yoga and pride myself in learning as much as I can as often as possible. My class descriptions and teaching style are ever evolving, taking from my teachers’ vast amounts of precious knowledge from Iyengar traditions, gentle and therapeutic applications, restorative postures, vinyasa flow, meditation, and bhakti practices. These ideas, techniques and information influence my everyday practice as well as my development as a teacher.
Namaste,

I’m proud to be certified to teach babies, kids, tweens, and teens yoga by Shana Meyerson from mini yogis yoga for kids. Additionally, I completed my 200-hour yoga alliance certification from Rising Lotus Yoga in 2012 studying with Claire Hartley, Daniel Stewart, Karen Rosales, and Jay Averell. In 2013 I completed the Prison Yoga Project Teacher Training with James Fox to bring yoga to at risk communities and incarcerated individuals with special training in trauma sensitive applications of yoga and mindfulness meditation in prisons and other rehabilitation facilities. In 2014, I completed the Cosmic Kids Yoga Teacher Training with Jamie Amore and The Yoga of Pregnancy, prenatal yoga teacher training, Postnatal and special topic as well at therapeutic yoga for moms with Ma Yoga and Jessica Jennings. My love for yoga translates from the beginning of life: Prenatal yoga, kids’ yoga, to our later years: senior yoga, and everything in between. I hope you join me in discovering the vast varieties of yoga and their amazing abilities to heal, create joy, and develop space for love and peace within.
