I teach physically-grounded, mindful, approachable Hatha yoga for people of all sizes. I specialize in teaching size-inclusive yoga, but my classes are open and welcoming to folks of all shapes and sizes looking for a personalized, accessible yoga experience.

When I first started attending yoga classes, I was looking for "light exercise" after I had my youngest child. As I continued practicing, I discovered, to my surprise, that breathing, being still, and moving my body with intention allowed me to connect to my spiritual side, finding peace, self-compassion, and devotion in the everyday. I was so taken by this practice that I decided that I wanted to share it with others. In 2020, I completed a 250-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Ti Harmony (Loving Kindness Yoga School). I am currently studying in Ti’s 300-hour (advanced) teacher training program. I consider Ti my main influence in how I approach physical yoga on the mat (asana) as well as yogic philosophy and how I bring yoga into my daily life. I am also grateful to Anna Guest-Jelley (Curvy Yoga), Jenni Rawlings (Strength for Yoga), Jivana Heyman (Accessible Yoga) and Megan MacCarthy (Somatic Yoga) who have also influenced my teaching and practice.

In my teaching, I'm on a mission to help people find comfort in their bodies, to trust themselves, and to get closer to the inner awareness of themselves as complete, whole, loving beings. I try to connect with each student, and suggest individual modifications and ideas that work for my students' bodies in the moment. I value introspection, self-compassion and self-trust - on the mat and in life - and so I always encourage my students to listen to their bodies and tune into their inner feeling during practice.
