My passion for sharing and exploring yoga is expressed in my classes, and my alignment based teaching invites you to practice compassionate awareness while playing within the poses. My mom is a Sivananda yoga teacher, but I discovered my own yoga passion in my 20s while seeking a way to connect to my own breath and stillness to help alleviate the stresses of my hi-tech career.

​

When I realized yoga gave me power and tools I was hooked! Yoga is my foundation to practice self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-regulation and with these tools I’m constantly discovering my power -- my true self. This sounds challenging, and it is but it is also fun. It leads me on paths full of intriguing discoveries and beautiful connections.

​

I want to share the foundations and joy of yoga so you can discover or continue along your path of learning, discovering, and playing in your life. Through Mercury Moon I offer you the opportunity to deepen your explorations on retreat -- come play with your yoga and explore amazing food in beautiful natural locations.

 

I continue to study with my cherished teachers and friends Kate and Jim Coughlin at Downtown Yoga in Pleasanton, and other wonderful teachers at workshops and retreats. As a graduate of Downtown Yoga’s teacher training program I am a certified Yoga Alliance member (500-RYT).
