Nice to meet you
Yoga has been part of my life for 15 years, giving me a toolbox for navigating life and a language for understanding ourselves more deeply. My background in sociology shapes the way I see people and community. My background in writing shapes the way I teach. I write my own dharma talks, create workshops and trainings, and use storytelling, philosophy, movement, and reflection to make ancient teachings feel relevant, accessible, and alive.
Building Heart Bridges
I’m passionate about creating spaces where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Spaces to practice, gather, learn, question, and grow. Whether I’m teaching a class, leading a retreat, mentoring a teacher, or sitting in conversation, I’m always looking for the practices, words, and questions that help us see ourselves more clearly and meet one another with greater honesty, compassion, and curiosity.
At the center of it all is a simple belief: we aren’t meant to do this alone. We need one another. We need community. We need spaces that remind us who we are and make room for who we’re becoming.
TheWhy behind the Way
I often return to Ram Dass’s words: “We’re all just walking each other home.” Building those heart bridges between ourselves, each other, and the world around us, is the why behind my work.
My retreats have been described as “surrendering into a big hug.” And that is exactly the feeling I aim to create wherever I teach: a place to exhale, connect, and come back home to yourself.
And outside of my work, I love to solo travel, learn my way around a surfboard or skateboard, craft up a storm, dance whenever and wherever I can, and return again and again to the practices that bring me joy and bring me home to myself.
