I am continuously learning and seeking out new traditions of
yoga, meditation, alternative health and physical fun. My mission is to guide
students of all levels through an energetic, playful and transformative yoga
and fitness class geared towards their goals and needs supported by self-inquiry, relaxation and healing.
I have taught
abroad as the resident teacher at one of Costa Rica’s leading yoga retreat
Centers, as well as studios in vacation destinations in Mexico and Costa Rica. I have also been blesses to travel
across the county teaching yoga from the east coast to Colorado, all the way
here to Portland. My biggest
passion when it comes to teaching, is my offering to members of the community
that wouldn’t normally have access to yoga. I have been a member of the Street Yoga
community and now Living Yoga here in Portland since 2008. These organizations provide classes to
at-risk youth, and individuals facing adversity in our community. I also teach chair yoga with local
seniors in their community residence.
These are the classes that truly exemplify what the practice of yoga
really means in our daily lives. I
have recently branched out with my offerings to incorporate a more dynamic
fitness component to some of my yoga classes creating a full spectrum of
fitness in one class experience.

The opportunity to express my self through my body by offering students
something I hope will be influential in their lives is a true blessing and
something I am continuously grateful for.
I look forward to combining our energies through movement and breath and
having a blast in the process.
When I am not teaching I am spending time at my cozy home in the Cully neighborhood in NE Portland with my Adventure partner Matthew, my stepson Ozzie, our wily kitties, Surly and Katy and the newest member to our home, the sweetest, softest puppy ever, Llewey! We love to cook with fresh food from our garden, have dance parties, make art and snuggle up.
