I began my yoga journey in the mid-1990s with a mat and a DVD, hoping only for a fitness program that would work for me. I followed that DVD until I knew every breath the instructor took. After years of following various yoga DVDs and books I felt capable of a yoga practice on my own. It is through my yoga practice that I have found my strength, my authenticity, and my inner voice.
Twenty years later, I began teaching yoga to students at the small democratic school where I teach the middle grades. I completed the Little Lotus for Kids certification program at Ambaa Yoga in Montreal, QC. I enjoy teaching children asana and techniques for breathing, relaxation, and meditation.
In 2016, I completed my 200 hour RYT at Yoga Vermont in Burlington, Vermont. A year later, I completed the 40 hour course in Ashtanga Yoga with David Swenson. My Ashtanga teachers include Kathy McNames, Shelley Washington, David Swenson, and David Williams. In the winter of 2018, I worked with CircuSoul Yoga of Sarasota, Florida to complete my Levels 1 & 2 Aerial Yoga certificiation. In the summer of 2018, I completed Level 1 of Thai Yoga Bodywork with Sukha Wong of Lotus Palm.
In the summer of 2018, I completed my 500 hour certification at Yoga Vermont. I practice aerial, acro, Yin, Thai, and vinyasa yoga, in addition to my Ashtanga practice.
