Pronouns: she/her

Hometown: Issaquah WA, but I bounced all around the west coast and southwest before finding my home in Richmond close to a decade ago.

Why do you do what you do: In the two decades I've been practicing, yoga has again and again offered me comfort and strength: an appreciation of my body and what it can do, tools to ground and calm, a soft place to land in times of stress or heartache, when to rest and when to cultivate strength. It's a great honor to guide others through this practice, and I teach to learn - from the practice itself, my teachers, my body, and my students.
