Yoga is the missing piece for me after a lifetime as a dancer and an athlete. I fell in love after my first class.

My foundation is in the Iyengar Tradition and I have been influenced by the Krishnamacharya Lineage, which includes the Ashtanga Vinyasa and Viniyoga Traditions as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and TKV Desikachar, respectively.

In 2004, I completed a 200 hour teacher training program with local Virginia Yoginis, Sandra Pleasants and Jennifer Elliott at Yoga Source in Richmond, VA. Since then I have completed over 100 hours of continuing education with world-renowned Yogins and have been inspired by them all.

Many thanks to my many teachers.
