I teach yoga that integrates beautifully into your real life.

You don’t need to live on a mountainside or travel to an ashram to bring yoga into your life in a meaningful and practical way.

Our busy culture and the media seem obsessed with selling fear, perfection, and quick solutions to get what we want. Dissatisfaction with our bodies is profitable so we’re spoon-fed unreasonable ideals and then sold unsustainable ways to strive for them.

What if I told you that good health and enjoying your body doesn’t require a hardcore fitness schedule? It DOES require challenge, restoration, and consistency - and that isn’t as hard as it’s made out to be. I adapt that to the realities and ins and outs of YOUR life.

 

A private yoga and movement practice can address the root issues holding you back from living your life on purpose.

Mind-body practices align your physical and emotional wellness in ways that other workouts cannot. This is because yoga, breath work, meditation, and self-massage prioritize a compassionate connection between our bodies and our minds.

On the other end of the spectrum, forcing yourself to do a workout you hate, that are punitive, or only those that give you an up-regulating endorphin rush (in pursuit of a body goal that may be unrealistic) isn’t going to contribute to your peace of mind. If you’ve ever thrown yourself into a “bootcamp” fitness challenge to “whip yourself” into shape, you may have felt:

  • excited about who you’ll be at the end of it

  • overwhelmed by how hard it is

  • tired by the willpower needed to succeed

  • uncomfortable with soreness (or worse—a painful injury)

  • justified in “treating” yourself because you’ve been “so good”

  • guilty about “falling off the wagon” so you give up

  • frustrated because you’re right back where you started

If you can relate to this, please know—you’re not alone.

Mind+Body Fitness that is not one-size-fits-all.

  • Yoga Therapy

    Yoga Therapy empowers individuals toward good health and wellbeing. It also facilitates practices to help individuals facing physical and mental health challenges manage their conditions. Yoga Therapy can reduce symptoms, restore balance, increase vitality, and improve emotional fortitude. Practice may include physical postures, breath work, meditation, mantra, restorative practice, and other techniques.

  • Functional Movement

    Functional movements are the moves you do in your daily life. Functional movement training builds strength holistically, working several muscle groups at once, developing important stabilizer muscles, improving coordination, and sharpening neuromuscular control. If you want to become fit and toned, functional workouts are the way to go. Move your body how the human body is meant to move.

  • Yoga Tune Up®

    Yoga Tune Up® is a therapeutic, yoga-inspired class that eases pain, improves posture and enhances performance. Yoga Tune Up® classes include guided self-massage (self-myofascial release/SMR) with therapy balls, which release tension in the nervous system and the body’s fascia system. They are fun, healing, and appropriate for all ages and fitness levels.

  • Classical Yoga

    I teach the foundations of yoga deeply, balancing the athletic parts of yoga with the restorative. I incorporate all elements of yoga into the practice: breath, philosophy, focus, meditation. I teach all ages privately, but my clientele is GenX and Boomers who desire pain-free, active lifestyles. Amateur athletes also come to my classes to heal or prevent sports injuries and enhance their athletic performance.

My approach prioritizes your uniqueness with practices that includes mindfulness, breathwork, natural movement, and skeletal alignment.

We work with your fascia and nervous system—which changes everything.

Tune into what your body needs. Gain calm and the confidence to trust yourself.
Lean into your into flexibility and strength and get rid of thoughts and behaviors that don’t serve you.
Slow down and appreciate life—even when you’re facing challenges.

These practices can be woven into a full day without feeling like “one more busy thing to do.”
