A friend asked me to attend a class with her in a giant mission-style church, somewhere in Westwood. Our teacher was a soft-spoken 65 year old woman and, although I remember very few details about the class itself, I remember how it made me feel. I felt clear- as if I was seeing colors more vibrantly. The air in my lungs felt clean and big. I felt connected somehow - as if the world had opened up a bit wider. Those sentiments stayed with me all day and I wanted more. Today, I am a registered and certified teacher of multiple styles and schools of yoga, each one of which I love and want to give forward to those who want to learn as well. I am formally trained in Hot Vinyasa and am a long-time practitioner of Bikram and recent trainee of Hot 26 & 2. My interests and focus lie in building strength and alignment, using strong breath work and musculo-skeletal self-reliance to increase and sustain flexibility and agility at any age and with any body type. Willingness, humility and commitment are qualities inspired by yoga practice and what I aspire to offer my students.
