A yoga instructor since 1993, I blend MELT Method and Somatic Movement into my Yoga teaching. I have studied Anatomy, Ayurveda, Meditation, Feng Shui, and I Ching. The result is an eclectic practice focused on sharing what I've learned so others may find their way.

Bio
I have been a fan of yoga since I first watched yoga shows on public TV in the 60's, Yoga for Health with Richard Hittleman and Lilias, Yoga and You, with Lilias Folan. I started teaching yoga in 1993 and 7 years later began formal training with Bob Smith and Ki McGraw from the Hatha Yoga Center in Seattle. In 2012 I studied MELT Method with Sue Hitzmann, its creator. MELT is also a holistic treatment that complements yoga beautifully and supports the body for ease of movement, strength, flexibility and comfort.
In 2017 I trained with Martha Peterson in Essential Somatics. This practice is the most gentle and therapeutic form of movement that I teach.
Chinese philosophy, I Ching and Feng Shui have been long time interests of mine. In 2008 I became a certified feng shui consultant from the Enerald Feng Shui Institute in Seattle. Feng Shui is taking Yoga into your environment by balancing your inner and outer spaces.
To me, Yoga, MELT, Somatics and Feng Shui...they're all yoga~ holistic practices for self care and mindfulness.
