Why I teach

Yoga has been my path from the time I was a young adult. Over the years, I have been humbled &  fascinated by where this path has taken me physically, intellectually and of course spiritually.

I have been a yoga teacher for over 20 years and specifically a yin yoga teacher for 15 years. When I started teaching Yin Yoga, I fell in love not only with the style but with the philosophies of Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine that underlie the practice. I have studied these traditions as well as the non-dual philosophies of Advaita Vedanta and Kashmiri Shaivism from India. I have advanced training in yin yoga and yoga therapy as well as a BA in psychology from UC Berkeley and a Master of Public Health degree from UCLA.

My mission now is to serve as a guide for all those interested in pursuing the spiritual path.  Whether in public yoga classes, online programs or one to one mentoring, I strive to create the space for you to heal yourself, connect to source, and discover your true spiritual purpose. Each and everyday, it is my deepest honor to share the wisdom of yoga and the power of YIN with you. May you discover a life of balance, peace and meaning.

I wish to honor the teachers and mentors who have inspired and guided me on my own journey including: Miranda MacPherson, Sally Kempton, Mirabai Starr, Sara Powers, Gary Kraftsow, Richard Miller, Janice Gates, Kim Chestney, all of my students, my friends and family and the deepest bow to Ramana Maharshi, a true embodiment of loving presence.
