Years teaching: I have been teaching yoga for 8 years and practicing for 20.

Teaching style: In my power class we will move with intention in a creative slow power flow designed to build strength, balance, and mobility. Expect unique movement patterns, plenty of balancing poses, twists, and mindful transitions that challenge both body and mind. My class will encourage you to move with control, explore your range of motion, and leave feeling strong, grounded, and refreshed.

At sculpt class expect a challenging, full body workout that combines strength, endurance, and functional movement. You'll move through a dynamic, circuit-style workout that is designed to elevate your heart rate and build total-body strength. Every exercise can be modified, making the class accessible while ensuring everybody feels successful, supported, and empowered.

Personal Inspiration: I gain my inspiration from my work as an occupational therapist,

behaviorist, and fitness/yoga instructor. I pull various aspects of each into my personal practice and classes. I love learning about the brain and the body. How they connect, develop, and change over time. Yoga is such a powerful tool to improve our regulation skills, increase our window of tolerance to stressful situations, as well as improving our overall balance, strength,

and coordination skills.

Outside of the Studio: When not at the studio you can find me outside! I love hiking and exploring the outdoors. I also love cooking, binging scary movies, drawing, and spending time with friends and family.

Why CY? Cleveland Yoga has been a part of my life for over 20 years. I started going to CY with my mom in high school but really dove into my practice after college. CY has always had such a strong and caring community with fantastic teachers. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to teach alongside people I’ve learned so much from over the years.
