“Yoga does not change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.” - BKS Iyengar
EXPERIENCE + EDUCATION
I was introduced to yoga and meditation as a high school sophomore, but it wasn’t until a pivotal moment a decade ago that I enrolled in my first alignment-based teacher training. What began as a desire to deepen my own practice became the start of a lifelong commitment to studying and teaching yoga.
Over the past ten years, I’ve been fortunate to learn from a wide range of teachers, including Jason Crandell, Judith Hanson Lasater, Tiffany Cruikshank, Darren Rhodes, teachers in the Anusara lineage, and many others.
My spiritual and philosophical practices are rooted in the Trika lineage—a non-dual Tantrik philosophy that recognizes the sacred in all things and views embodiment not as an obstacle, but as an expression of divine Consciousness. I’m deeply grateful to my teachers Douglas Brooks, Todd Tesen, Christopher Wallis, Susanna Harwood Rubin, and the faculty at OCHS and Yogic Studies.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
My intention as a teacher is to offer you the tools to empower your practice, to recognize your innate radiance, and to inspire you to explore the inner and outer landscape with more intention, presence, and wonder. My approach is grounded in the belief that yoga is not a one-size-fits-all path, but a living, evolving practice that meets us where we are—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
