I am the owner of Phoenix Rising Yoga Studio, where I design and lead 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and specialized programming focused on accessibility, functional movement, and real-world application.

I developed a trademarked “Healthy Aging” program that integrates yoga, Pilates, and physical therapy–informed movement to support strength, balance, and mobility in older adults. This program has been delivered consistently over the past four years with a focus on maintaining independence and improving quality of life.

My work extends into adaptive and specialized populations, including partnerships with Special Olympics, where I have delivered adaptive yoga incorporating both traditional and aerial modalities. I also lead ongoing programs in middle and high schools, teaching mindfulness, yoga, and aerial practices across full academic-year formats.

I have led international retreats and regularly deliver focused intensives in anatomy, sequencing, mindfulness, and aerial applications for specific conditions, particularly spinal health. I work extensively 1:1 with clients experiencing back pain, scoliosis, and post-surgical limitations, using aerial and movement-based approaches to improve function and reduce discomfort.

My teaching is influenced by my time practicing and learning from Tao Porchon-Lynch and presently Carmen Curtis, and emphasizes meeting individuals where they are while developing adaptable, skill-based teaching methodologies for diverse populations.
