The physical aspects of yoga first drew me in I loved how strong and centered I would feel after a sweaty vinyasa class But the total mind-body-spirit transformation was something I was not expecting I walked into my first yoga class in and the journey began  ​ I received my first yoga flow certification in nearly ten years after that first class Since then Ive earned over hours of yoga training with various teachers I continue to study with both Annie Carpenter and Richard Rosen regularly My teaching style is alignment-based empowering focused yet playful  My home is in the vibrant San Francisco bay area I lead classes in studios and corporate offices in San Francisco Oakland and Berkeley I host several yoga retreats per year that give me the opportunity to guide and connect on a much deeper level These retreats happen in the US and abroad I am grateful to be a part of the faculty at Yoga Garden for their and hour teacher training  program These trainings happen throughout the year and are led by a dedicated team In the summer you can find me guiding SUP Stand Up Paddle Board yoga classes on the San Francisco bay! I began a daily meditation practice in and watched my life shift I currently lead regular meditation sessions at LinkedIn Headquarters and Salesforce Headquarters in San Francisco and in private and small groups.
