With 15 years’ experience as a yoga teacher, I believe that yoga is a practice that meets us exactly where we are. My teaching focuses on the softer, more mindful forms of yoga, creating space for movement, breath, balance, and connection. Teaching chair yoga offers accessible practices that support strength, flexibility, mobility, and overall wellbeing. Whether on a mat or on a chair, my classes are designed to help students feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies while honoring their individual needs and abilities. My intention is to invite students to discover that strength and softness can beautifully coexist.
