I received a yoga teaching credential from the White Lotus Yoga Foundation in 2018. In 2024 I completed an additional 200 hour Vinyasa flow teacher’s training at Sellwood Yoga and a certification in yin yoga through Parallel 45. I have a playful approach to group classes and have initiated a series of classes teaching in the studio, the redwoods, on the beach, and on lakes and streams using standup paddle boards. I have discovered the power of the breath in my yoga practice to open, strengthen, and calm the body. I love teaching to all ages. I especially love when I can combine yoga with nature. Whether on a paddle board or deep in the forest, yoga always seems to be more relaxing and calming when practiced in the wild.

My primary goal is to guide students’ awareness using the inner healing power of the breath, to be present and at ease in one’s own body, and find the joy and calmness one can experience practicing yoga.
