I still remember my very first savasana in 1999. It was one long exhale. My mind became quiet, my body softened, and for the first time in a long time, I felt deeply connected to myself. Looking back, I can see that moment quietly changed the direction of my life.
I came to yoga because I needed it. Like many people, I’ve spent much of my life moving fast, striving, overthinking, and believing I needed to earn my way to peace. Yoga has become the place where I continue to practice something very different: slowing down, listening deeply, and remembering that wholeness isn’t something we achieve—it’s something we uncover.
For more than two decades, I’ve immersed myself in the study and teaching of yoga. Along the way I’ve had the privilege of assisting Baron Baptiste, founding Mountain Lotus Yoga in Vail, presenting at the Yoga Journal Conference, serving as a longtime Lululemon and Manduka ambassador, and studying with inspiring teachers including Janet Stone and Deepak Chopra. Each experience has shaped my understanding that yoga is not simply movement, but a way of meeting life with greater awareness, compassion, and presence.
YogaSoup has been part of my journey since 2010, and it’s a joy to continue sharing this practice here. My classes weave together intentional movement, breath, meditation, mantra, mythology, Ayurveda, and moments of both challenge and deep rest. My harmonium often finds its way into class, and I love creating spaces where we can sweat, laugh, breathe audibly, sing, soften, and remember that we belong exactly as we are.
Outside the studio, I’m a mom of two boys, an integrative coach, meditation teacher, and graduate student in Integrative Psychology. Whether I’m teaching yoga, coaching, leading retreats, or sharing children’s yoga with our community, my hope is always the same: to help people reconnect with the wisdom already within them.
I’m grateful to meet you on the mat, on the cushion, in the breath, in song, or over a bowl of soup.
