As a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher, I am committed to a safe, challenging, and loving practice, and my teaching emphasizes the importance of breath, alignment, introspection, and self-acceptance. I received both my 200 and 500 hour certifications from Be Yoga in a style called ISHTA, which stands for the "Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda." In more generalized terms, ISHTA refers to a vinyasa style class that uses Tantric meditation and philosophical principles and incorporates elements of Ayurveda.

The term ISHTA has a double meaning, however, and in Sanskrit means "individual" or “personal,” signifying the importance of individuality within one's yoga practice. It is my strong belief that each person's yoga practice is distinct, and one of the challenges of yoga is to explore deeply and honestly one's needs, gifts, and limitations, which are constantly shifting from day to day and moment to moment.

My class falls under the ISHTA lineage and is vinyasa in style with elements of Tantric meditation and philosophy dispersed throughout. It is challenging and rigorous while it is also safe and correctly aligned. I help empower my students to individualize their practice according to their specific needs by always offering modifications of postures as well as ways to make them more challenging. I consistently encourage my students to make choices for themselves according to what they need at a particular time, and the overall goal of my class is to help students work their bodies, calm their minds, and feed their spirits in a healthy and individualized way.
