As a Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor, I have been blessed with the best – the best teachers, the best mentors, and the best students. My goal as a yoga instructor is to impart to students the skills to venture into classes with different styles and different teachers, and leave those classes feeling empowered; not just to ‘do’ the poses, but to keep themselves safe in the poses. My teaching style is one of exploration — working with poses, traveling through the blessings and the pitfalls. Since I often hear the phrase “that was good; it was different”, I’ve adopted the mantra “different = awesome”. When you explore the definitions of each word, you will come upon the word ‘fear’. Different is scary, as is awesome; but, stepping into something ‘different’ is often what I need to do in order to grow. Yoga is a journey, peppered along the trail with boulders to crawl over. Leatt the exploration begin!

In 2017, I enrolled in the 4-year Yoga Therapy training at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. In 2021, I gained Certification in the International Association of Yoga Therapists. I have an office (separate from my weekly class schedule) in which I see individuals for Yoga Therapy, individual yoga training, and mentoring.
