Whether it was running, swinging kettlebells, spinning or show jumping, all my life I pushed my body hard. But, something was missing. Then, one day eight years ago, I stumbled upon a Anusara yoga workshop and my yoga journey began.

Before long, I realized that I could still push my body physically but balance it with my mind. Some call it the Ah Ha Moment. Whatever it was, I was transformed and my path was changed forever. When I teach, I seek to give my students the confidence to get deep into poses and the opportunity to find their breath while finding some peace on their mat. My challenging slow flow classes, taught to contemporary music, are alignment-based, playful and woven with humor and Buddhist mindfulness.

I am honored to be part of the Broga® Yoga Team and look forward to sharing the benefits of Broga with both men and women in the Boston area.

In addition to practicing yoga, I work as a non-profit fundraising and event planning consultant and am on the same path as my students: balancing work, family and play while being present and seeking the calm between the tranquility and the storm of connecting with my body and mind.
