No one should feel stuck and everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of yoga.
It is my mission to meet students of all ages and abilities where they are at to create their own practice and feel more at peace.
We make the world a better place when we embrace our inner light and shine; this inspires others to do the same.

Private In-Home Sessions
Each one-to-one session is tailored to the student's unique interests and abilities. The sessions include: self-regulation tools, mobility exercises, relaxation techniques, and meditation in a fun and comfortable atmosphere (your home)! All necessary props, mats and essentials are provided. The student will build a practice that can continue to be used throughout life, both on and off of the mat.
Private sessions offer individual attention to foster meaningful relationships while sharing the tools and philosophies of yoga.
