I became a certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher to share the gifts my ten year practice has given me. I like to bring joy and humour to my classes, because yoga practice can often be so serious that we forget to open, play, explore, and experience the lightness that yoga can bring.

When we practice from beginner's mind, even experienced practitioners gain something from exploring basic postures. We start with the breath, and build from the ground up.

I guide asana with attention to alignment principles, and from there we can play with a practice that explores relaxation, meditation and self-acceptance.

When the mind maintains awareness, yet does not mingle with the senses, nor the senses with sense impressions, then self-awareness blossoms.
