Cultivate Your Healing Energy

Hello and Welcome!

ABOUT

 

My yoga journey began over 20 years ago when I began taking classes to tap into stillness and manage energy.  I began a daily practice in 2017, and inspired by my teachers I enrolled in Kripalu School of Yoga in 2019, where I completed 200 hour teacher training. 

Since then, I have been dedicated to increasing insight and skill building both on and off the mat.

MBSR (Sharon Gutterman, Copper Beach Institute 2022)

Guiding Meditation for Transformational Yoga (Kripalu 2021) 

Teaching Advanced Pranayama (Kripalu 2022) 

Teaching Adaptive Yoga (Kripalu 2023)

Leading Kripalu Vinyasa, Breathe, Feel, Flow (April 2024).

​

I teach a hatha Kripalu flow and Kripalu Vinyasa with specific intention to connect breath with movement with compassion towards self and inner listening My focus is listening to the body lead, inviting opportunities to bring stillness to the mind and joy in being in present body awareness.  Creating an intuitive flow, restoring balance to the mind, breath and body.     

​ 

I completed 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training certification in April 2024.

Why Kripalu Yoga?  What is Kripalu Yoga?

​

“Kripalu” translates into compassion or “one who is compassionate” and “yoga” translates to connection, to join or to “yoke’.  Kripalu yoga loosely translates to compassionate connection towards self, in both our physical practices on and off the mat, and in our own internal process with ourselves and others.  Every Body is Welcome.
