I am a certified yoga instructor and neuromuscular massage therapist with over a decade of experience in my personal practice. I enjoy blending movement, breath, and energy work to create a deeply holistic practice. To me, yoga is more than just physical postures. A not so hidden path to self-awareness, transformation, and connection to the unseen rhythms that shape our lives. 

My teaching is rooted in my background in bodywork, integrating postural alignment, breathwork, and mindful movement. Drawing from Anusara yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and functional movement, I offer classes that cultivate balance, resilience, and a strong yet fluid practice. Students can expect purposeful sequences that build stability, open the heart, and encourage introspection. 

Beyond yoga, I have a deep love for astrology and esoteric studies, often weaving celestial insights and mythological storytelling into my teachings. I also enjoy making vegan desserts, spending time in nature, and cherishing moments with my family. Whether I’m guiding a dynamic Vinyasa flow, a meditative Yin session, or breathwork practices that harmonize energy, my goal is to create a practice that is both grounding and expansive. 

I welcome students of all levels to explore their practice with curiosity and courage.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU!

Movement has been a powerful practice for me since I was a child, throughout my healing journey and my professional life as a former Physical Therapist. I love to dance, to hike, to meditate, but most of all… too deepen my practice in Yoga.

Yoga is more than a challenging workout or a sequence of asanas to relax. Yoga is a work-in, where we look inside, build internal strength and improve self-awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are. So that we can be right here right now. And that’s my aspiration for everyone to experience.

“Yoga is the ultimate practice. It simultaneously stimulates our inner light and quiets our overactive minds. It is both energy and rest. Yin and Yang. We feel the burn and find our bliss.” -Elise Joani

I started practicing yoga at a young age, but particularly committed to my practice during the scary times of quarantine. Committing to a daily practice during those months at home helped stop me from falling into a place of deep fear and anxiety.

As a result of this new commitment to yoga, I found myself mentally equipped to adjust to the ever changing world we’ve found ourselves in these past few years. When 2022 rolled around, I knew I was being called to teach yoga. I wanted to share this practice in the way that I’ve come to know it, as a means of healing from a place of radical vulnerability and love. I received my certification around the corner from YogaMaya at Ebb and Flow Yoga Studio in May 2022 and started teaching immediately after.

My personal practice is based around my passion for grassroots movements and resistance; to heal Mama Earth and all of her inhabitants we must first start from within, from the root. I bring this energy to my classes by encouraging deep reflection and the gooey connection between mind, body, spirit that mindful breathing cultivates. The classes i teach are spaces for release, community and ancestral healing, and most of all increased connection to oneself and the world around them.

“Yoga is a connection worth experiencing. It’s a safe and quiet place for you to get lost in time, listen to your mind and really feel your body. It’s a connection which feels almost like magic. You don’t have to be flexible, you don’t have to be strong, you only need to be willing.”

-Crystal Garcia

“I will remain true to myself through utilizing my strengths while still owning my weaknesses, and continually working on those weaknesses to better improve myself, so I can best support those in need through honesty, love and transparency.”

My mantra is “There is joy in me, and there is joy in all of those around me”, and I strive to learn, love, and appreciate life.
