BACKGROUND

Modern life has more than its share of stressors and challenges. From a young age, chronic stress in my life led me to search for knowledge and solutions. I began to study spiritual masters in my adolescence. This lead me to meditation practice, which became a tool I regularly used throughout my early teen years. Yoga played a vital role in mitigating pain from sports-related injuries and remains a vital component of my relationship to wholeness.

I became a certified yoga instructor in 1999. Blending stress-reduction and meditation techniques with my unique approach to Kripalu yoga, I help myself and clients cope with adverse effects of injury, aging, and uncertainty with more equanimity.

The invitation to genius has been an overarching theme throughout my life and practice. When leading individuals or groups in techniques for calming, grounding, and manifestation space is created for greater inspiration and genius. A gradual awakening can pave the way for great leaps into personal empowerment and more joy in life. We are more powerful than we realize. This is an opportunity to wield that power for the benefit of ourselves and the world. It is my passion to encourage you to realize your own genius.
