hi, i'm so glad you're here.
i first found my way to yoga back in 2005, in college, when i was looking for a way to manage anxiety and get to know myself. what started as a coping tool became a lifelong practice, and eventually a calling.
in 2014, i completed my yoga teacher training at Motherheart Yoga in Philadelphia, grounded in classical yoga, breathwork, meditation, and the eightfold path. since then, i’ve had the joy of teaching all kinds of students from kids, athletes, pregnant mamas and new mothers, to beginners, and everyone in between.
my teaching style is thoughtful, intuitive, warm, and inclusive. i believe yoga is a mechanism to help us go deeper within ourselves, find our starlight and let it shine into the world. yoga should feel supportive and the practice looks beautifully different in every season of life. i’ve practiced while pregnant, postpartum, in recovery from addiction, and with my little ones doing laps around my mat.
whether you're brand new to yoga or finding your way back after time away, i welcome you here.
outside the studio, i’m a wife, mother, furry-friend lover, vegan, bookworm, and coffee enthusiast. i believe deeply in small acts of kindness, because at the end of the day, as Ram Dass said, we’re all just walking each other home.
