My yoga journey began while I was still in the single digits back in the 1980’s during my training as a competitive diver- this was WELL before yoga was the popular institution that is now. When I began practicing yoga there were no studios and only one teacher in my entire city, who worked out of a massage practice. Fast forward to now and it’s absolutely amazing how fast yoga has become a mainstream staple of our Western culture.

I had an on and off love affair with yoga during my teens and 20s and finally committed to it in my early thirties when I moved to Munich. Once I committed, the only natural way was to then become a teacher.

Yoga has defined much of who I am today- it’s given me structure, discipline, a foundation to always go back to, physical strength and flexibility and a starting point for my own spiritual practice. Although yoga is a small part of my work, it plays a big role in guiding my life.

I received my 200 h YTT in Dharamasala, India in 2011. I felt that although India was a good place to learn, it didn’t give me the skill set I needed to teach in the West, so I returned to Austin, Texas and worked with several private teachers in order to learn more. I have continued to attend workshops and courses over the years across the world.

I teach Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga and have really slowed down my own practice since I initially began teaching. As I get older, I realize that I need a more restful and calm yoga then one that is full of difficult asanas and a fast pace. My classes are still challenging when they need to be, but I find much more joy in slow movement and attentive breathwork. 

I no longer teach regular, weekly courses. I do my best to offer monthly workshops and several retreats per year. You can also practice with me online, on my You Tube Channel, which I update regularly.
