“Yoga does not change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.” - BKS Iyengar

EXPERIENCE + EDUCATION
I was first introduced to yoga, meditation, and Eastern philosophy in high school, and my practice deepened steadily in the years that followed. In 2016, I completed my first 200-hour Hatha Yoga training, and in 2017, I relocated to Colorado to continue my studies under the guidance of an internationally renowned teacher whose school was deeply rooted in the Anusara methodology.

With this teacher, I completed an additional 200-hour Teacher Mentorship Program (2018), a 500-hour training (2017–2019), and had the privilege of assisting internationally at workshops, festivals, and teacher trainings through their On the Road program. In 2018, I joined the school’s staff as studio and on-site manager, eventually overseeing marketing, operations, student services, and serving as supporting faculty for teacher trainings until my departure in 2021.

When it comes to teaching postural yoga, I now consider myself a bit of a “yoga mutt”—untethered to any single method or dogma. I continue to study with a variety of teachers including Jason Crandell, Tiffany Cruikshank (Yoga Medicine), Darren Rhodes, Rod Stryker, and more, drawing inspiration from diverse lineages and movement modalities. My insatiable curiosity and commitment to lifelong learning have led me to train with experts across disciplines, and I am endlessly grateful to my teachers, past and present, whose wisdom I am honored to carry forward.

My teaching, personal practice, and life philosophy are rooted in the Trika and Śrīvidyā traditions as taught by Abhinavagupta and passed down through my teachers Douglas Brooks, Todd Tesen, and Susanna Harwood Rubin, alongside academic study with the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies and Yogic Studies.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Through a dedicated and integrative practice—including āsana, prāṇāyāma, meditation, self-inquiry, and the community (kula) as the teacher—I aim to offer students tools that support their individual needs, inspire their lives, and cultivate a deep and meaningful connection to themselves and the world around them. 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.
