Through clear cues & slow pacing, my classes encourage students to shift their focus from the quick-paced outer world to the rich soil of their inner world. My classes encourage a consistent practice of self-awareness, and are open to all levels.  

My offerings are heavily inspired by the ever-changing natural world around us. I find that through a recognition of the season’s qualities, we’re able to see how those same qualities are mirrored within our own lives - and to feel more supported and connected as a result. And, that our “seasons of life” are just that - seasons. Yoga has taught me the power of stepping back and enjoying the unfolding process rather than getting swept away with each storm. 

I prioritize intelligent sequencing, proper alignment, modifications for every-body, and helping students bring more awareness to their often forgotten inner worlds. As a lover of poetry and beautiful vocabulary, use of imagery and nature-centric metaphors as well as inspiring quotes, are a mainstay in my classes. I believe strongly in each of our abilities to self-heal through self-awareness and self-acceptance.

I completed my initial 200hr YTT in 2012 in Fayetteville, AR. Since then, I’ve continued to prioritize continued education including attending dozens of specialized workshops, 90+ CE hours with Tias & Surya Little of Prajna Yoga, 30+ CE hours with Caitlin Rose Kenney, and am currently undergoing Sarah Powers’ Insight Yoga training. Additional training and my personal practice has also been informed by Natalie Rousseau, Felicia Tomasko, Elena Brower, and more. I continue to prioritize continued education, especially in regards to Yin Yoga & its deep ties to Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

In addition to teaching 12 years of regular in-person group classes, I’ve also:

• helped facilitate five different yoga teacher trainings (Yin Yoga portion for the 200-hr YTT with Trailside Yoga School)

• led regular, in-depth seasonal workshops woven with an understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine

• coordinated, designed, and co-hosted two weekend yoga retreats

• coordinated, designed, and hosted corporate yoga retreats

• taught at several private corporate retreats

• taught at various yoga festivals including Yoga on the Mountain - Snowmass, Yoga on the Mountain - Mt. Magazine, and Fayetteville Yoga Festival

• taught curated private-individual and private-group lessons

• led adventure yoga classes (hike + yoga experiences)

• taught a wide array of community offerings including yoga for runners & yoga for bicyclists

Teaching yoga is one of my greatest sources joy. In addition to teaching, I also source joy from work as an interior designer, trail running, being deep in the mountains, adventuring with my two large doodles & partner, and reading poetry and other though-provoking literature. I currently reside in Fayetteville, AR.

You can practice with me in person in Denver, CO weekly at Better Buzz Yoga and online here. Additionally, I offer regular seasonal workshops that utilize yin yoga & an understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine to help students align with the qualities of the new season.
