About

After my first yoga class, I was hooked. I felt so calm. My body felt  so open, and so tall. For more than 20 years now I have attended yoga classes for  fitness, fun and to find a place of peace and respite. It’s helped me  through bouts of back, neck, and wrist pain when I worked in IT. Yoga  kept me fit during pregnancy and gives me a calming place to go when I  need a break from the constancy of motherhood. 

After many years working in a 24/7, high-stress career and suffering multiple miscarriages, I decided to focus on my health and well-being. I left work and trained with YogaWorks to become a certified yoga teacher. In 2013, I earned my Yoga Alliance 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher certification.   I also have specialist training in Pelvic Floor Yoga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga.

In addition to practising Yoga, I regularly practise Pilates. I find many yoga classes are lacking when it comes to protecting and strengthening the body through core engagement. My Pelvic Floor Yoga training and my practice of Pilates greatly inform the way that I teach Yoga.

Lastly, as someone who lives with Hypermobility Syndrome, I know  the pain and frustration of many injuries, and at times, terrible whole  body pain and stiffness.  Please know, it is a myth that you must be flexible to  do yoga. We do not arrive to Yoga with perfect bodies. Through  breath and mindful movement we move our bodies and our minds toward  wholeness and healing, and we learn to accept ourselves as we are each  day.
