For a decade, I had the wonderful opportunity to learn in a studio that used biomechanics as its primary foundation and also offered thoughtful classes for all stages of life.This was beneficial for my own health issues. The acquired skills also enhanced my massage practice, and the wellness curriculum I developed and taught for several years in a hospital chaplain program.I chose my teacher trainers carefully, seeking individuals who had scientific knowledge of the body and tended towards wisdom over ego. I feel I’ve been educated by some of the best including: Katy Bowman, Bernie Clark, Noah Mazé, Jill Miller, Desiree Rumbaugh, Adam Ballenger, Jess Trudeau, Skye R. Heston MD, and Sean Haleen.My teaching is therapeutic in nature and adaptable to most bodies. Modifications, props, teaching students how to move better, and experience the joy of movement- are all hallmarks of my classes.I also have training in somatic movement, dance, and choreography.Classes I have often taught are: Yin, Hatha, mindful Vinyasa, gentle, chair, Restorative, women in mid-life, seniors, kids, beginner dance coupled with alignment-based yoga, and beginner dance/somatic movement.
