About Me

Teaching, training, and the practice that shaped me

I’m a long-time yogi who completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Abhaya Yoga in Brooklyn in 2025. The practice started with curiosity and a structured way to “stretch my body” after long days at a desk. It quickly became a source of clarity, presence, and community.

Teaching philosophy

  • Strong, supportive sequencing. I love building heat and strength, but I never sacrifice safety. I break down shapes, offer options, and invite students to listen in.
  • Breath-led movement. Flow is more than choreography. It’s moving with intention. I use steady pacing and clear cues to help practitioners stay grounded in their breath.
  • Playful curiosity. Whether we’re exploring new transitions or pausing in stillness, I encourage students to notice, feel, and respond with compassion.

Beyond the mat

Movement has always been my thing. I love running, hiking, mountaineering, martial arts, and climbing, but yoga offers something different. It’s equal parts discipline and surrender; it invites openness, acceptance, and the courage to meet yourself exactly where you are. That’s what keeps me coming back and what I hope to share in every class.

I can’t wait to keep growing as a teacher and to learn from the communities I get to serve. See you in class!
