Teaching Style
I believe that over time, yoga awakens and strengthens our innate ability for self healing. My classes begin with a deep awareness of breath, incorporate alignment with dynamic flow, and end with deep stretches. I often invite students to focus on sensations in the body, notice the changing patterns of breath and challenge habitual tendencies. I aspire to teach from my personal seat of benign power, a supple place of balanced strength and vulnerability.
Bone Health
Yoga for Bone Health is a targeted practice developed by Dr. Loren Fishman and is aimed at maintaining a healthy skeleton. Recent studies have shown that specific yoga postures may aid in reversing the effects of osteoporosis and osteopenia, if practiced frequently and consistently. I teach with specific attention given to the spine and hips, as these are the areas where fractures tend to occur most. Additionally, I work with students to gain strength, flexibility, and balance to improve overall range of motion.
About Me
I hold a B.A./M.A. in Economics from Brandeis University, and M.B.A. from NYU Stern School of Business. I was a career driven marketer in New York City area for years. At some point, the fast pace and accompanying stress started to impact my health, so I let it all go. Now I do what I love, spend time with my kids, and even notice leaves changing color in the fall. Which is amazing!
