I have a few regrets in life, and not starting yoga earlier on is one of them. However, looking back, I know I had to be “ready” for it. I have trained in Tae Kwon Do and Modern Arnis for over 10 years achieving two 2nd degree Back Belts. Having aches and pains increasing with age, I decided to try yoga… and never looked back. The years of beating my body and loving it ended and self care took its place. The moving mediation of asanas is one of the few times in a day I think about nothing other than moving and breathing. Putting myself in “neutral” to give my body and mind some rest.

I teach Power Basics/Advanced Vinyasa, Therapeutic Yin, and a combined Slow Flow/Yin style, all with an emphasis on the “Universal Yoga” method of Andrey Lappa. Teaching six classes a week for the past two years, I’ve loved making yoga fun and accessible for all my students. I’m known for dropping hip hop rhymes, phat tribal beats with didgeridoos and pan drums, and a bit of Bauhaus into my flows. In my class there’s only two rules… breath and smile. One we have to do, the other, we GET to do.
