How Did You Find Yoga?
As a marathon runner, I started practicing yoga as a way to stretch and bring flexibility into my training. I have to admit that at first I hated yoga. I found it boring and slow paced (which is really ironic given that I now teach Yin Yoga and have a strong meditation practice). Of course now I love practicing and teaching it!
Dream vacation
Bali, India, Europe, Costa Rica, Peru... I want to travel the world.

Always say "yes" to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say "yes" to life - and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you." - Eckhart Tolle
Why do I love teaching yoga
I started teaching Yin Yoga as a way to introduce stillness to students who aren't ready for a formal seated meditation practice. I like to think of my classes as a powerful trifecta - combining the asanas of Yin with meditation and sound healing. I want to share this practice with the world as a way to nourish the body, mind and spirit. I teach to share the practice but I also teach because it brings me so much joy. It simply makes me happy and I often find myself singing in the car on the way home from teaching. That's how happy teaching makes me... and I hope my students feel a bit of this joy as well.
