Yoga has been a way to center myself during even the most tumultuous times of my life. It reminds me to practice compassion, everyday, for self and for others. In terms of the physical, I love that postural yoga provides a chance to work all areas of the body, to practice building strength at end ranges, and connects us to the rhythms of our breath and our heartbeat. I hope to be a guide on the path that leads yogis back to themselves.
I was first certified in 2016 by O2 Yoga (Mimi Loureiro) and received my advanced teacher training in 2022 through Boston Yoga School and JP Centre Yoga (Ame Wren and Daniel Max). I love being a student and examining the craft of yoga. My continued studies usually focus on the anatomy and mechanics of yoga and I strive to convey that knowledge during practice to help students build a better understanding of their own bodies. I have invested in lots of learning since my initial certification, and am now an E-RYT 500 with over 5,000 teaching hours under my belt. Additional specialized training includes trauma-informed yoga (Firefly International), pranayama (Eddie Stern and Robert Moses), and prenatal/postnatal yoga (Five Points Yoga).
