Instructor - 1600 Hour Yoga Within Certified

Practicing yoga since 2002 has helped create balance in my life in many ways. Sometimes it’s through the physical practice, sometimes through meditation but often it’s simply remembering  to apply yoga philosophy to my everyday life. I love that yoga is a  practice. I don’t have to be perfect, I just keep practicing.  

I completed my first teacher training with Melanie Checknita at Yoga Within in 2013. It was such a transformative experience that I have taken teacher training at Yoga Within many times since. Each year is different and I continue to learn and grow. 

In my classes, my intention is to create a space where everyone is welcome. I believe every body will benefit from yoga and we should all meet ourselves where we are on our mats.  

I feel fortunate to have learned from wonderful teachers who generously share their knowledge such as Friedel Khattab, Rosemary Jeanes Antze, Anita Sielecki, David McAmmond, Fiona Stang, Aadil Palkhivala, Cassie McColl, Satwinder Sran, Tara Woltjen, Jill Gaumont and many others. I am ever grateful to Melanie Checknita and Gerda Krebs for their encouragement and wisdom.
