WHY DID YOU BECOME A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR?

Learning to love the way your body is designed to move is at the heart of my yoga classes. Exploration of fluidity, adventure and experimental play creates a landscape of safe and profound experimentation on your mat. Self-empowerment from the ground up creates the stability needed to safely attempt new challenges and make what you once thought impossible, well within reach.
