I design yoga classes that are fiery and dance like and set to music that reaches deep within your soul.  A background as a movement artist, combining dance, yoga, and barre have given me a foundation for a class that is physically demanding and draws inspiration from all forms of dance, music, and art. 

I became a certified 200hr yoga instructor in 2016, through "The Craft" in Seattle, WA. From there the flood gates opened with opportunity to teach a variety of styles of yoga including aerial yoga and yoga plus. To find a class look here.

Vinyasa

My vinyasa classes have been described as "soulful" and "dancey."  I teach a flow that is intentional, seamless, and choreographed to the rhythm of the music.  Each movement is intentionally designed to open your body and heart.  My classes will take you on a journey to bring out your strength and confidence, and give you a closer connection to self.  

B+ Yoga

These classes are powerful and is designed to bring out your inner warrior.  In this class we will work our way through a series of salutations each one building upon the last, finally adding light weights.  You will leave this class having an entire body workout and stretch.  

Aerial Yoga

This class combines the flow of vinyasa and elements of dance, with the use of a hammock to take your practice to new heights.  Using different points of focus, awareness, and alignment you will dive into a deeper connection with your self. 

Yin Yoga

In yang classes (like those listed above) we build heat, warm, strengthen and stretch our muscles in other styles of yoga classes.  In yin we do just the opposite.  Moving slower, holding postures longer that are low to the ground.  Going past the muscle to our connective tissue. 

I love spreading my knowledge to others and am available for workshops and masterclasses in yoga. Connect with me here for more information.
