“Yoga does not change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.” - BKS Iyengar

EXPERIENCE + EDUCATION
I was first introduced to yoga, meditation, and Eastern philosophy while still in high school and developed my practice in the years that followed. In 2016 I completed my first 200-hour training in Hatha yoga and in the spring of 2017, relocated to Colorado to continue my education under the guidance of an internationally renowned teacher, whose school was deeply rooted in the Anusara methodology.

With them I completed an additional 200-hour training as part of their Teacher Mentorship Program (2018), 500-hour training (2017-2019), and had the pleasure of assisting internationally at workshops, festivals, and teacher trainings in their On the Road program. In 2018 I began working for the school as the studio/on-site manager in addition to overseeing marketing, operations, student services, and eventually becoming supporting faculty for teacher trainings until my departure in 2021.

I now consider myself a bit of a “yoga mutt,” when it comes to teaching postural yoga. Untethered to any one dogma or method, I enjoy studying with a number of teachers including Jason Crandell, Tiffany Cruikshank, Darren Rhodes, Rod Stryker, Judith Lasater, and many others. My insatiable curiosity and desire to continuing learning has also led me to study other movement modalities with experts in their respective fields. I’m grateful for the guidance of my teachers, past and present, and am honored to continue their legacy through my own teaching.

My teaching, personal practice, and life philosophy, are all inspired by the non-dual Tantrik traditions of Abhinavagupta and his student Kṣemarāja. They offer a life-affirming philosophy that teaches us that there is no separation between the ordinary and the divine, the physical and the spiritual. Our practice is a journey through the heart to remember that there is no other that is not you and to see the sacredness in every day life. I’m eternally grateful for my teachers Susanna Harwood Rubin, Douglas Brooks, and the esteemed professors at OCHS and Yogic Studies.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I strive to provide students with tools to adapt their yoga practice to meet their unique needs while fostering a deep and meaningful connection with themselves on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level, promoting whole-being.

By nurturing a dedicated practice of asana, pranayama, meditation, and self-inquiry with a sense of playful curiosity, I aim to inspire practitioners to tune into their inner wisdom, honor their individual journeys, and embrace the boundless potential contained within them.
