“The yogic path is the journey of our union with the heartbeat of the Universe, the essence which resides in all of us. We are all One. Aum. We are Limitless. Ananta. We are all made of energy and our nature, just like the universe, is movement and change. Spanda”

To move myself.
To move others.
To move the practice of yoga ahead.
When I first started, yoga was something I needed to do for my own well-being, both health-wise and spiritually.
But along my journey, I discovered a passion for teaching and—hopefully—inspiring.
By observing the movement of real people in the real world I was inspired by a collective of yoga philosophy like Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Dharma yoga, and the world and waves around me. I developed a standard sequence that begins with an awakening series leading into a beautifully bold vinyasa flow. Partnered with the movement, the environment is created for the mover to push themselves through challenge with breath. True meditation exists within the motion. The flow presents challenges to the student as opportunities to experience the truth of the body and its connection to the mind and spirit. There are no walls, boundaries or pinnacle point, the practice transforms as the connection to the soul expands. Deep connection exists between the diverse members of our sangha, community. It is a real practice for real people. It is more than asana. It extends far beyond the mat. It is an exhilarating flow for a free life.
I look forward to taking my unique style, and perspective on yoga and movement to the next level with you.

So they say when you discover your personal legend that the first steps come with so much ease and peace. Then the challenges seek you out in all forms of lessons and trials. From there, you recognize the waves, the ebbs and flows, and eventually the challenges make you smile because you recognize them as symbols of growth. This is my yoga. I live yoga and through it I came to know who I am. Before the practice, anxiety ruled my thoughts and interfered with so much of my creative expression. Now, I understand that I can make decisions and live so freely because I trust myself. I trust my practice, my breath, my health, and my thinking mind.
I love to go upside down because in that moment, there is only consciousness and my world pauses. Only my breath and the intensity in my own hands exist. In those moments I learn stillness. “The lake is still, When I’m quiet I heal, Only Love is real.” -MC Yogi
So finding yourself is hard, serving others is finding yourself. Through love and passion we have the power to inspire others to live their best life. I want to show you that Love is a state of existence. Yoga will guide you to the thoughts that disturb the inherent health and well being that already exist at your core. Discovering your breath will allow you to trust that your happiness already lies within your soul. Soul seeking starts from within. First we build a relationship with the universe through deep breathing, then the layers. Strength first, then control, then sensitivity. Every class is an opportunity to draw in like minds and create energy through flow that we can all experience. Once we practice together, you're in my heart

By day I work in the IT field maintaining computer networks, never thought I’d be teaching yoga. A little over a year ago I embarked on this journey of self-discovery and fell in love with powerlifting and yoga. Through Yoga and movement, I've discovered parts of myself I never thought possible. My True Self, my strengths, opportunity, etc. but most importantly my CONFIDENCE, My voice. Every day is a new journey. I love to share my experiences with others who begin their relationship with yoga, opening their hearts and minds. When you enter the studio, regardless of what you’re going through, the asana allows you to challenge yourself, shed the monkey mind, to be vulnerable, free of labels, to be YOU!
