Embracing the aspect of "Ayama" or "expansion" has become the heart of both my personal practice and the roots from which my teaching pours forth. To practice yoga is to surrender, allowing opening and depth through a conscious letting go, over and over, while anchoring deeply to the conscious movement of the river of breath through the body.
Sharing the practice of yoga with others is an emergence of a passion that blossomed in my life some 25 years ago. After teaching Bikram yoga for several years, I was drawn to expand my awareness of yoga to include the practices of pranayama (expansion of life force) , the shatkarmas (yogic cleansing), yoga nidra (yoga sleep, a guided, mindful mediation) and became a certified teacher in the tradition of Hatha Yoga, following the the path of ... including studying with Rama Vernon, founder of Yoga Journal and ... and Shrahda Sagar, sinyasan and owner and founder of 7 Centers School of Yoga, where I received my certification and further apprenticeships. My exploration and practice Vipasana mediation over the past 25 years, weaves itself into the classes I share with my students. More than anything, I teach through the harnessed collective energy the students bring to each class, allowing them unfold with each shared breath we take.

I was introduced to yoga by my mother at a very young age, but it wasn't until just a few years ago that yoga and meditation became a passion and a dedication for me. After having a daily practice of my own for several years, I decided it was time to share what I had discovered, so in the fall of 2015, I attended my first "200 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training" in Sedona Arizona. The following January I was invited back for a second, free 200 hour training to become a teacher in their certification programs--a valuable experience that deepened my teaching, however, I chose to teach in Northern California, the place I call home.
My goal in teaching is to bring the student past the mere physical aspects of asana and into the subtler practices of yoga. This is accomplished by a persistent shifting our awareness from the turbulence of the busy mind to the rise and fall of the natural breath and all the sensations of the body as it stretches and opens into the poses. In seated meditation and shivasana our consciousness continues to expand, and as our bodies become completely relaxed our nervous systems are permeated with sensations of true bliss. If you wish to experience this for yourself please come join me in my practice of Yoga.
