Why do you do what you do: I’ve come to understand that the deeper our connection to ourselves, the more meaningfully we can communicate and connect with others. I paint and I practice yoga. Yoga is a tool to safely and deeply experience ourselves in whatever way we’re showing up on our mats. Strengthening our understanding of ourselves through the practice of yoga enables us to better connect with others.

Describe your class in one sentence: I hold space for you to safely move into a deeper awareness of yourself.
