She/Her

Bio: I grew up as a dancer, so movement has always been ingrained in my lifestyle. When I began to practice yoga, I learned how transformative movement can be when you bring intention to your breath. Upon completing my 200 hour teacher training with Rachel Wilkins in 2021, I aspired to share this connection and love for movement with others.

In my classes, we laugh, we sigh, we make weird shapes, and we do everything in community. Being mindful is about more than just quieting the mind; it is about learning to observe yourself in a non-judgmental and compassionate way.

As a teacher, I teach from my anahata (heart) so my classes emphasize keeping an open heart when approaching your yoga practice. I create a space where you can step out of your day and step into your body.

 

  • My classes are:

    I value yoga as a lived experience, so no two classes will ever be the same. My classes will leave you sweating, but they will always remind you of the immense power in remaining grounded and trusting your body.

  • When I'm not on my mat I'm:

    hiking, dancing, gardening, taking my dog on a walk, or practicing aerial silks!

  • I grew up in: 

    Yuba City, CA

  • Something you'd never guess about me is:

    I am an amateur at all sports board related: skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding (BUT I do my best and love trying!)
