Hello....I’ve been practicing yoga since January 1996 and teaching since summer 1999.Yoga has changed my life! I started taking classes to find relief from a stressful job. In July 1999, I left my full-time job and completed my yoga teacher certification at the Kripalu Center for Yoga. I feel blessed to be able to share my passion for this practice and my own learning experiences from many schools of yoga. Yoga has been healing to my body, but mostly my mind and my heart in how I live my life. I enjoy helping others find a ways to awaken by providing tools to move in ways that honor each individual's unique being.

I earned my B.A. in English from Boston College and enjoy using language to be precise in my instruction, but also to find the words to open up the spirit through poetry. I have also completed graduate level coursework in education at Boston College. I bring that knowledge to my classes to make sure the experience is accessible for different learning styles.

I am also a nationally certified Massage Therapist with a license in Washington DC and Virginia and am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. For more information about my massage practice, follow this link.
