I’m a certified Yoga Instructor based in San Francisco, and now Marin California. I have been teaching yoga since 2008 and I’ve been lucky to learn from wise and inspiring individuals. We are here to feel powerful and effective in these bodies.  This practice offers that. Having the chance to share those lessons and experiences with my students fills me with joy. 

​

I discovered the practice of yoga in my late twenties.  My life felt out like it lacked focus and I needed to get out of my head space and into my body. Amazed at how yoga grounded me, made me feel a strong, steady and at peace with what was happening around me, I made a commitment to the practice and continue to work everyday to re-establish and maintain a better relationship with my body, our planet, and others around me. It helped me to rediscover my spark and tap into both a mental and physical agility that I didn't know was possible.

I want to share that gift. 

​

I have been teaching for over 16 years.  Andrea Boyd of Satsang Yoga Charleston, SC  had an incredible influence for my love of the practice with her teachings of Jivamukti Yoga Philosophy are what hooked me.  The fire and power of Baptiste Yoga is what showed me the potential of feeling powerful in my body. My Bay Area teacher Stephanie Snyder of Love Story Yoga continues to keep my practice inspired. 

I continue to be blown away by my many teachers and am inspired by their creativity and fearlessness. 

​

My personal yoga practice has grown into passion for the health and welI-being of others and yoga has been the inspiration behind combining nutrition, wellness and aspects of mental health into a holistic practice.  I graduated this June 2015 with a Masters in Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University to become a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT and am a certified nutrition and wellness coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.
