I currently teach at YogiSmile Yoga Studio in Laurel, Maryland, which I founded with the hope of creating a welcoming, community-centered space where I have the privilege of teaching, learning, and facilitating the amazing practice of yoga alongside our teachers and students.

I am passionate about yoga not only as a physical practice, but as a lifelong tool for supporting strength, mobility, balance, flexibility, and overall well-being. I particularly value helping students develop a sustainable practice that can support their bodies and minds throughout different stages of life.

My approach to teaching emphasizes mindful movement, safe and accessible practice, and creating a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable practicing at their own level. I also believe that yoga extends beyond the mat, offering valuable tools for resilience, self-awareness, compassion, and navigating everyday life with greater steadiness.

After a decade of teaching, I remain a student of yoga myself and continue to learn, explore, and deepen my understanding of the practice so that I can better serve my students and community.
