Why Yoga

My love for yoga began in 2003. It was a feeling of stability, freedom, and a powerful 'plugging-in' to myself that got me hooked on this practice. I went on to explore many forms of yoga while working and studying in New York and Tokyo and completed my Yoga Alliance teacher training in the styles of Hot, Yin, and Power with Dan Clement, Eoin Finn, Bernie Clark, Wade Morissette and others. I continue to explore many forms of yoga, including recent workshops in Yoga Trance Dance with Shiva Rea, Anusara Yoga with Ross Rayburn, and Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga with Sadie Nardini. Yoga, for me, is about connecting my physical practice to my higher intentions and the world of spirit. My background as both a musician and student of comparative religion and psychology have been a strong influence in my teaching style. My biggest inspiration, however, are my students, who remind me to keep an open heart in the midst of whatever arises, both on and off the mat. In my classes, you'll sweat and stretch as we go on an intense yet blissful ride together. Modifications to more challenging postures will always be given. I teach from my heart and from my life.
