My Philosophy
- Yoga has great benefits for people of all ages, regardless of previous yoga experience and physical limitations.
- One-size doesn’t fit all; I love modifications and options!
- Variety is the spice of life. Bodies aren’t the same every minute of every day, and neither is yoga.
- I blend many yoga traditions: each class combines breathing with proper alignment (Iyengar), slow flow (Vinyasa), and holding poses to open connective tissue (Yin).
- Good yoga classes respond to the needs of the students, not the teacher.
My Students
- Many levels—from beginner to advanced
- All ages—teens through the 80s
- Cancer survivors
- All kinds of bodies—flexible and stiff
