I CAME TO YOGA FOR THE PHYSICAL CHALLENGE. AFTER A CHILDHOOD ON FIELDS AND COURTS AND IN WEIGHT ROOMS, INJURIES WERE A CONSTANT COMPANION, AND I EVENTUALLY RECOGNIZED THAT THOSE PHYSICAL TRAUMAS HAD SHOWN UP ON DEEPER LEVELS TOO. MY COMPETITIVE NATURE TOOK THE LEAD AT FIRST. IF SOMEONE ELSE COULD TURN THEMSELVES INTO A PRETZEL, SURELY I COULD TOO. BUT WHEN I STOPPED FORCING MYSELF INTO SHAPES AND LET THE PRACTICE WORK ON ME, SOMETHING SHIFTED.

MY YOGA IS FOR YOU, EXACTLY AS YOU ARE. I TEACH AN ALIGNMENT-BASED VINYASA THAT ADAPTS TO YOUR NEEDS. YOU CANNOT WIN YOGA, BUT EVERY PRACTICE OFFERS A CHALLENGE, WHETHER THAT'S A FUNKY ARM BALANCE OR SITTING IN STILLNESS.
