I began taking power yoga classes at a hot studio in Newport, RI my junior year of college.  I loved the physical, flowing practice and moving mediation.  My mat became a place to witness and experience my body, breath, and mind. I teach classes that inspire this for my students. Sometimes a yoga mat is a playground, a fun place to explore and try something new.  Other times, it’s an office cubicle or therapy couch where you come to do the work. I love to share creative flows that encourage students to show up authentically in all aspects of their lives. 

After graduating college, I completed my 200-hr YTT at Kripalu in 2013.  I immediately began teaching and have taught on and off since then.

My favorite class to teach is a powerful vinyasa with unique transitions and an emphasis on anatomy and alignment. I love to switch it up and come up with new sequences to try.  I also love seeing students challenge themselves in yoga sculpt classes. 

In my classes you can expect strength building moves and cardio woven together in a vinyasa flow to make you feel real proud and real sweaty. I encourage my students to show up genuinely on their mat and to try something new with each practice.  It could be a new pose, mindset, or awareness. Come grow your practice and deepen your relationship with yourself!
