Description of Services

My Yoga journey has been about slowing down and listening and responding to the messages my body is constantly sending.

This translates into everyday life by granting me the awareness to listen and respond to the messages that people in my life, and the world around me are sending.

After training at Joschi Yoga in NYC, I taught a little here and there, ran away to Ithaca, got a job at a candle making factory and a Yoga teaching gig at Cornell, then came back to NYC for a job at Integrative Nutrition.

Back in NY, I did my second Teacher Training at Abhyasa with J Brown. The approach I take to practice is a therapeutically oriented one.

I hope to create a slow and beautiful experience for you that you can then bring into your life and give back to the world.

Yoga is more than asana practice, but asana practice can be a helpful and effective place to start, a place to start to align with your inner stillness and then to open the lines of communication with your inner guide, Sat Guru.

Asana practice builds strength and poise. Strength in the muscles and in the mind, with a slow- breath-centered approach we can develop the ability to control our focus, while tuning into our bodies. We make deliberate movements, take deliberate actions, matched to our inhalations and exhalations. We don't necessarily come to sweat, we come to grow, to remind ourselves of our already perfect selves, to stretch and expand our awareness while gently and lovingly stretching tight muscles.

This is a moving meditation, as is life.

When we keep coming back to our mats, to our practice we keep opening up to the delicious fullness of the present moment, this one, right here.

Currently I am teaching an Open Level Community Class ($8) Every Wednesday at 4pm at Abhyasa Yoga Center- 628 Metropolitan Ave, BK, NY

I look forward to practicing together.

Love + Growth,
