MY PRACTICE: My yoga practice began in 2001 and has been my companion ever since. It has seen me through many life challenges including post-partum depression after the birth of both of my children. I have embraced Tantric yoga philosophy for it's life-affirming stance of Radical Acceptance. And I strive to meet students and teachers where they are in their practices and life. My VALUES these values drive my practice, my teaching, and my life: LOVE Consciousness Relationships Experience (aka: Practice) Yoga is an integral practice that helps us transform ourselves and the world. MY BACKGROUND: I started teaching in 2007 after completing a general Hatha Yoga 200hr training. I fell in love with Anusara Yoga around that time and completed a 200 hour training in that method in 2012. (I also had a baby in 2008) I was an Anusara - Inspired teacher until 2012. In that system I completed over 500 hours of study and practice and became a 500hr RYT. After 2012 I continued to study with my main teacher, Todd Norian for the next 8 years. I became licensed in Ashaya Yoga (an Anusara influenced style) And was delighted to assist yoga teacher training and even lead trainings in Ashaya Yoga. In 2020 I decided to continue my exploration of yoga alignment and philosophy by releasing my Ashaya License. And in 2022 I completed a 300hr Advanced Training with Christina Sell. My teaching and practice reflect my studies. I adore teaching alignment-based yoga with room for each students' personal expression. My work is infused with Tantric philosophy - specifically the understanding that we are all Divine, our bodies are a gift, and this life is to be savored not escaped. MEDITATION AND COACHING Alongside my yoga education and practice I have maintained a more than decade long meditation practice. And I study regularly with a local teacher who helps me cut through my mental patterning in order to be present with all that life brings. In this way I am able to meet myself, my students, my colleagues, and life just as they are. I am deeply grateful for all that meditation and mindfulness have brought me. I share this experience with students and dear ones through 1:1 mindfulness-based life coaching. It's pretty amazing to be able to draw from my yoga studies and meditation experiences to support folks becoming their most authentic selves. YOGA TEACHER MENTORING In addition to teaching I also LOVE mentoring yoga teachers. Mentoring takes many forms but the top things I help with are: New teachers learning the ropes and gaining confidence Teachers returning to teaching after a break Becoming a conscious leader Discovering your authentic voice and gifts as a teacher How to make your big dream (workshop, retreat, festival) a reality I offer mentorship on a sliding scale so that teachers can access the support I offer.
