Studio Director at Sukha Somatics

Background & Personal Approach

I’ve always been fascinated by what it means to pursue wellbeing, and the interplay between the circumstance’s life hands to us and our wiggle room to make lemonade from lemons. Motivated by a series of challenging chronic physical and psychological lemons, and an unrelenting optimism that there were ways to thrive more than I currently was, I’ve explored many paths on the way home to a life filled with joy, playfulness, and love within an empowered body and mind.

One of my greatest joys has been teaching others the tools to make their own lemonade. I’ve found movement, breath, meditation, and yogic philosophy driven self-inquiry could transform challenging moments into places where choice and empowerment lived. I teach from a blended background of lived experience, years of professional training in yoga therapy, somatics, developmental biology, and the science of the body-mind connection. 

Yoga is a system to bring us back into balance; a place where joy, peace, and physical ease naturally spring forth. For reversible health conditions yoga can assist us in the healing process, and for permanent conditions it can help us develop practices to compassionately live within the bodies and minds we have while lovingly honoring our needs.
