I am a yoga and meditation teacher, educator, and integrative health practitioner with more than 1,000 hours of accredited yoga teacher training, much of which I completed in India. My training includes Hatha, yin, restorative, Kundalini, and trauma-informed yoga as well as meditation, breathwork, relaxation, and other mind-body practices.

My work extends beyond traditional yoga classes. I teach classes and lead workshops, retreats, trainings, and other educational experiences both online and in person. I have taught within Yoga Alliance yoga teacher training programs and developed original training modules exploring complementary and alternative medicine, mind-body health, evidence-based interventions, energy work, and related integrative practices.

My broader professional background spans behavioral health, massage and bodywork, yoga, meditation, and complementary and alternative medicine. I have pursued extensive education and certification across these disciplines, which allows me to approach well-being from multiple perspectives while remaining attentive to the evidence, traditions, and scope of each practice.

I am also a licensed clinical social worker. My clinical background informs my understanding of trauma, stress, chronic illness and pain, mindfulness, self-compassion, and the relationship between physical and emotional well-being. My approach to yoga is trauma-informed and emphasizes autonomy, accessibility, curiosity, and choice.

I believe yoga can be practiced without striving for an ideal pose or performance. I encourage people to explore movement, breath, stillness, meditation, and awareness in ways that respect their bodies and individual experiences. Through Therapy with Z, I offer yoga and meditation classes, workshops, trainings, retreats, and other integrative experiences.
