Teaches at Bird Rock Yoga

After a lifetime of cheer-leading, gymnastics, volleyball and running, I came to yoga…and found a home. Taking my first classes showed me a range of strength, flexibility and introspection I had not experienced in any other physical endeavor. I completed my 200hr Vinyasa YTT in 2013 under the guidance of Alyssa Runyan, with Daniela Kent as my one-on-one mentor. In 2015 I spent a month in Rishikesh, India completing my 500 hour training in Hatha and Ashtanga yoga and in February 2016 I completed Yin Yoga Training with Bernie Clark and Diane Batts. I have taught Vinyasa and Yin at Sol Yoga Studios, RideOn San Diego, Hot and Soul and Wela Yoga.

I enjoy teaching Vinyasa Flow classes, with a focus on breath, alignment, creativity and fun, as well as teaching Yin classes focusing on complementing the Vinyasa practice. My classes include a strong focus on both challenging and supporting students of all levels and encouraging their own experience…yoga is, after all, an individual journey. My ultimate goal is to be of service, sharing what others have passed on to me. Yoga has allowed me to connect with volunteer opportunities that have taught me so much; Kula Flow classes, free yoga on the beach, New Dawn High School volunteer yoga classes, and so much more…I believe that wisdom comes from all around us and yoga is a loving, grounding influence from which we can all learn, teach, share and grow.
