Yoga Instruction

     Yoga is one of my life's true passions; I  love what it contributes to my over-all health and spiritual growth. I love serving my community and bringing in a light-hearted healing energy.  I have been practicing yoga since 1998 and received my first certification as an instructor in 2001.  I am currently registered as an Anusara Inspired TM  instructor and am close to completing my second certification as a fully Anusara Certified teacher.  Anusara Yoga has been the strongest influence in my teaching since I started studying it in early 2004. It is a heart-felt style that emphasizes making an intimate connection with the intrinsic goodness within us, flowing from us and pulsing into the world around us. 

     I strive to bring passion, playfulness and a deep reverence into each class I teach.   My classes are life-affirming and full of opportunities to create integration and a sense of freedom and ease.   I bring a lot of energy, light and fun into each class as we explore alignment and heart themes that deepen the learning.   My classes are designed to inspire and create optimal health on all levels of being. I study and teach from a Tantric-based yoga philosophy that provides  us a profoundly rich language and structure for cultivating a sensitivity to our divine nature.  

     Tantric yoga is a poetic and beautiful practice that recognizes the power of cultivating an intimate  relationship with the body, mind, and spirit so as to live with a compassionate and open heart.  I teach a wide variety of  yoga poses sequenced in a way to explore the power and delight of precise alignment while flowing with grace.   We explore diverse  ways to break through the resistance that keeps us from seeing our own awesomeness and radiance.   By cultivating playfulness along with the discipline of refinement we celebrate together and explore expanding levels of  freedom  and ease of being.  My teaching reflects this open and soft approach to a non-competitive and deeply spiritual practice.  In each class we look to experience the radiance of Spirit and find unique and creative ways to go deep and have fun at the same time.  By exploring heart-oriented  themes we recognize that life's challenges are also life's blessings; allowing ourselves to feel deeply and live passionately we learn and grow.  We move through the poses using the body as a tool to connect with the deeper layers of our being and shine from the inside out.   

I look forward to seeing you in one of my classes soon.
