​
"I see yoga as a daily practice of surrendering to the power of now and honoring one’s truth. My inspiration and creativity come from a life fueled by love, truth, courage and the journey of acceptance and trust. I believe in the value of conscious movement that cultivates strength, flexibility and awareness.
​
I believe in magic.
​
I love storytelling, fairy tales, mythology, mudra, mantra and all elements of the subtle pranic body system. I playfully explore these concepts in my Vinyasa and Yin classes hoping to inspire curiosity about the body and invite an internal feeling of awakening.
​
My students can expect to be led through intelligent sequences of postures, gain an insight into the power of mudras and build deeper communication between the body, spirit and mind.”
