ABOUT ME…
Growing up as a dancer, I developed a keen sense of body awareness from a young age. My journey with yoga began as a teenager at the YMCA in Buffalo, NY, but it wasn't until my professor recommended yoga to help manage stress and focus my thoughts that I truly became hooked.
About a decade ago, I moved to LA and struggled to find a studio that resonated with my practice. This led me to fall out of practice and into the party scene where I tried to find connection and a “higher state of being” through substances and altered states. Seeking a fresh start, I moved to Colorado, where I rediscovered my love for yoga and was able to find mindfulness through posture and breath.
Returning to LA in 2017, I soon completed my 200-hour training with Sian Fujikawa and Kyle Miller, at Love Yoga, initially in exchange for helping out at the studio. This role evolved into a full-time management position after I graduated. This position allowed me to truly dive into the industry. While I no longer manage Love I am deeply appreciative for the skill set I developed and opportunities it presented me with.
I have taken over 500 hours in trainings, including but not limited to…
Katonah w/ Abbie Galvin
Oxygen Advantage: Breath and Lung w/ Tiger Bye
Trauma Informed Yoga w/ Hala Khouri
Biomechanics w/ Jules Mitchell
Prenatal w/ Sian Fujikawa
My passion for Katonah Yoga blossomed after studying under Abbie Galvin at The Studio in NYC. With over 200 hours of Katonah training, I've found it to be a transformative practice that offers new perspectives and encourages self-accountability. Its unique and wild approach is what I love sharing with my students, bringing this extraordinary knowledge and sprinkling it into life in each class.
My strength as a teacher derives from my ability to observe and empathize. This allows me to guide students to truly feel connected to their body and breath.
