Yoga is a way of being, not just a way of moving.
I grew up with yoga — both my parents were teachers. As a kid, I wanted nothing to do with it. Then something shifted at CU Boulder, and the practice I'd spent years avoiding became the one I couldn't live without. I started the yoga club, got certified to teach in my junior year, and fell hard for Kundalini yoga — completing my 200-hour teacher training in Santa Fe, NM.
What followed was twenty years of deepening practice and teaching: Boulder studios, then international workshops and retreats in Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Spain. I've taught at Arise Festival and led kirtan at the Hanuman Festival. Over the years, I've added a Yin yoga certification, three Level 2 Kundalini teacher trainings, and continued study in Hatha, breathwork, and Tai Chi. In 2020, I earned my black belt in To Shin Do — a modern adaptation of traditional Japanese ninjutsu — a discipline I've now trained in for over a decade.
My practice has shifted over time: from the activating intensity of Kundalini to the slower, grounding work of Yin, Tai Chi, and mindfulness. I teach from that full arc — from fire to stillness — because I've lived it. Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to a practice you've always known, you belong here.
