About Me

I am a certified yoga teacher with a background in dance. I gained my certification with Cyndi Lee of Om Yoga Center, N.Y. Along with my training in the Hatha/Vinyasa based style; I have also cultivated a deep understanding of Forrest, Anusara and Bikram yoga having attended many workshops. To further my education, I have studied extensively with Ana Forrest and John Friend. I held a work-study position at Bikram Yoga for 3 years. There, I grew inspired to become a teacher myself and learned how to manage a yoga studio.I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to teach at the beautiful, world-renowned Parrot Cay Resort Spa in the Turks and Caicos Islands, BWI where I lived for 3 months. While there, I taught a variety of students including children of varying ages, pregnant women, as well as, those with injuries and disabilities. Not only did I offer outdoor, group and private yoga classes to resort guests including The Duchess of York, Keith Richards and Demi Moore, I also guided students through meditation and pranayama practice.Recently, I taught yoga, meditation and breath work to residents of the Lower Eastside Service Center living with HIV/AIDS.I have worked on the Hope and Faith show as a consultant for various yoga scenes and was featured in the February 2006 issue (America’s edition) of Conde’ Nast Traveler magazine. My classes have been described in Yoga Journal as “bringing a feeling of unity and unselfconsciousness”.As a teacher, I primarily focus on encouraging the natural flow of breath while maintaining mindful alignment. Even though, at times, I do incorporate yogic philosophy and spirituality in class. My teaching style is mutable, open, supportive and enthusiastic. I am passionate about the healing practice of yoga and view it as an essential part of a healthy life. With a deep awareness of the human body and unwavering compassion, I invite students to join me on an infinite journey, with the intention to guide them on a path of self-acceptance and self-love. Ultimately, enhancing their experience of this existence.
