I have been studying and teaching movement for many years. I always loved to dance, and studied ballet for years. Yet, I was challenged by other forms of movement, particularly in gym class. I regained a love of movement and became more aware of my own experience in my body through movement classes while pursuing my MFA in Acting, which led to a yoga practice. I became a yoga teacher and teacher trainer.. I have an international certification in Pilates and am now studying to be a movement therapy practitioner and a Clinical Somatics practitioner. I have moved from the intuition my yoga practice has brought me into a research based understanding of embodied movement..

I enjoy inviting others into movement practices which support body-mind connection. Whether your goal is to increase strength and flexibility, connect to your own power through breath, or release your inner creativity, I would welcome the opportunity to share with you.
