As a former ballet dancer and teacher, and admittedly, a rigid, Type-A perfectionist, my first yoga class hooked me. I found myself consistently drawn back to the challenge and surrender of being fully present each time I stepped on the mat. After over a decade of practicing later, I answered the seemingly restless call on my heart: to explore where my deepest desires would meet the deep needs of this world, and train to share the fear-freeing, hope-awakening and deeply healing practice that has brought fullness to my wandering soul.
My classes explore the sacred space of "being", and the relational connection of mind-body-soul-Love-community, through an accessible, every-body-and-all-bodies practice. My focus is to shape the space for an embodiment of hope, strength and surrender, refreshing your own focus to shift back to the mystery and miracles of a mindset soaked in Love. Through movement, meditation and breath, you are invited to work through what's "stuck", surrender the spirals, let striving cease, drop the chase, and arrive 'home' to you - energized, alive, becoming.
elevate, expand, let go.
life is a garden, and not a maze.
You are accepted. You are free. You can not fail.
let the world be your mat.
let your gaze rest on Love.
You are the Salt of the Earth.
You were made for Love.
