Fun Fact/Talent:
I still have a baby tooth, which keeps me from being too grown up.

We all carry stories from our past that cloud our present and I believe in the transformative power of yoga. I teach classes that make space for students to move through the mental clutter, while also focused on developing their understanding of yoga poses through the lens of each person's unique body. I invite students to explore yoga's philosophical framework and practical tools for living meaningfully in their journey on and off the mat.

I divide my time between teaching yoga and creating art, discovering profound connections between these complementary practices. I work with yoga students in person and online around the world, co-lead a DC-based yoga teacher training, and coach new teachers through a one-on-one mentoring program.

Rooted in the DMV since 2012, I find great joy in nature—practicing yoga in the woods, painting farmland landscapes, and camping on the beach. When not teaching or creating art, you'll find me galavanting around with Tucker, my yellow Lab. My personal mission is to nurture creative growth and healing through excellence in yoga instruction and artistic practice; to cultivate inclusive spaces for self-discovery; and to foster authentic personal expression while deepening our connections to nature and community.
