Yoga
We are Body, Mind, Soul, Community and Environment.

There are many interpretations of the meaning of yoga. The root word yuj means to yoke or unite, and I honor this by teaching in a way that is spacious, allowing each person time to connect with their whole self. There is a continual lens on the inner landscape together with physical negotiation between effort and ease, strength and mobility.

My teaching spans over 20 years and is influenced by several frameworks of yoga, namely Iyengar and Jivamukti Yoga, of which I hold an Advanced Certification. Rolfing® and Rolf Movement® have also played an important role in how I understand  physical reality, as well as how I use language to invite the exploration of movement. I am interested in movement practices as a lens to functional health, personal connection and awareness of our changing relationship with gravity.

On a personal note, the experiences of illness and recovery have brought an unique awareness of how yoga benefits holistic healing.

I support, encourage and empower practitioners in what I call 'stretch' moments --moments when we feel safe enough to emerge in a place slightly outside of the ordinary-- and to never assume there is only one approach to anything in life.
