About my Teaching
Helping everyone calm down and chill out
For years, I thought my work as a marketing strategist was separate from my practice as a yoga teacher. After the pandemic, the two merged together. I am here to help people stress less and enjoy more, because that’s what I need too.
I want help all my students feel at home in their body, with a deeper connection to the body & mind.
As a nervous-nelly in recovery, I prefer leading lighthearted classes that reduce stress and infuse joy, so you can expect to return home stronger, joyful, and refreshed.

What’s “Trauma-informed” yoga?
Ideally, all good yoga teachers lead with a trauma-informed lens, even if they don’t know it. The teacher takes careful attention to the class environment, the poses and props, and even their own words, to help our students feel safe in their own body and welcome in their class.
Trauma informed yoga classes can help us:
Understand the aches and pains inside our body (aka “interoception”)
Feel less clumsy (aka “proprioception”)
Recover self-awareness
Practice non-judgment towards ourselves and others
Unearth deeply held emotions
Smile, again.
