Her teaching philosophy lies evenly in the crosshairs of the Sakyong Mipham quote, “The body benefits from movement, and the mind from stillness”, and she finds incomparable joy in holding space for leading others home to themselves…toward love, equanimity, and the universal law that reminds us “we are all one”. She draws inspiration for her classes from nature, yogic spirituality, therapy, literature, and learnings from her own recovery from alcohol addiction. She is part of a small group of local yoga practitioners who are creating a non-profit, Sattva, whose mission is to empower individuals through the healing power of yoga and to hold space for resilience, growth, and community through life’s trials.
