Steadiness, anywhere

Yoga teacher, aerial instructor, teacher trainer, and movement educator helping students and teachers find their line.

I believe yoga should meet you where you are, whether that's your living room, a workshop, or training to become a teacher. My approach prioritizes alignment over aesthetics, breath over perfection, and sustainable practice over pushing through pain.

I teach from experience: what it feels like to be wobbly, tight, overwhelmed, and searching for steadiness. My signature cues give you tools you can use on and off the mat.
