My approach to teaching is rooted in creating healthy, sustainable movement that helps you feel more connected, mobile, and at ease in your body. I draw from a hybrid of movement disciplines, incorporating breath, stretching, full-body engagement, somatic awareness, and restorative practices, with a particular interest in supporting a healthy, resilient back.

I am a 200 RYT and also certified in Advanced Relax & Renew Restorative Yoga, Somatic Yoga, and Menopause Yoga, with many additional hours of advanced study and learning. My intention is to offer practices that encourage curiosity, awareness, and a deeper understanding of your body—helping you move with greater freedom and confidence.

Restorative Yoga

Slow down, soften, and give yourself permission to rest. Restorative Yoga is a deeply relaxing, fully supported practice designed to release muscular effort, calm the nervous system, and restore balance to body and mind.Through gentle, long-held postures supported by props, you’ll be invited into stillness—not to stretch deeper, but to open, receive, and recover. This nurturing practice is suitable for everyone and offers a welcome pause from the pace of everyday life. Wear warm, comfortable clothing. An eye cover is recommended for an even deeper sense of rest.

Leave feeling rested, open, grounded, and renewed.

Healthy Movement, Healthy Back

Explore a supportive and exploratory approach to creating a healthier, more mobile back. This class is a hybrid blend of movement disciplines, bringing together breath, stretching, strengthening, somatic awareness, and restorative practices to help you align, connect, and move with greater ease. We’ll explore gentle stretches, strengthening movements, full-body engagement, and subtle somatic practices—inviting you to discover new pathways of movement and perhaps find a stretch or sensation you haven’t experienced before. The focus is not on pushing or forcing, but on developing awareness, mobility, flexibility, and strength through curious and intelligent movement.

A practice for anyone wanting to better understand their body, support a healthy back, and move through life with greater freedom and ease.
