A Little Bit About Me
I have been teaching yoga and meditation since 2002. I offer a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere where people can nurture their body, calm their mind and connect with their heart.
My teaching philosophy invites students to slow down, breathe consciously, develop awareness and cultivate an inner friendliness. My classes incorporate gentle and relaxing movements and stretches, mindfulness, breathing practices and self-reflection.

My wish is that students will feel more balanced, relaxed and connected to themselves after class. Continue reading . . .
