Resonating deeply with yoga philosophies, I offer hatha yoga classes, teacher training, philosophy intensives, and immersive workshops that incorporate philosophy, esoteric anatomy and life-enhancing principles of alignment and biomechanics. Classes are accessible with variations for injuries and limitations and are infused with breath work, meditation, and contemplative themes.
A strong advocate for high quality yoga teacher training, I am honoured to offer Teacher Training classes and mentorship through the YAA and also lead the yoga philosophy component of teacher training at Yoga for Today in Sherwood Park. I have served as Coordinator for the YAA Teacher Training & Certification Programs since 2008. In 2018 I was invited to sit on the Advisory Group for Teacher Qualifications as part of the Yoga Alliance Standards Review.
Originally trained with the YAA’s apprenticeship-style hatha yoga program, my training spans across several lineages including Anusara and Iyengar. I have also taken training in Yin Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Yoga for Kids, and Acupressure Massage, as well as university studies in dance, psychology, philosophy, and religious studies.
