I began practicing yoga with my collegiate lacrosse team and was deeply intrigued. I then went on to live at the Kalani yoga retreat center for six months in 2011, forever altering my perspective. At Kalani, I met my great friend and teacher, Yogi Patrick McAndrew, and in 2012 I moved to Burlington, Vermont to live and study with him. In 2015, I arranged my life to focus on studying with Inner Freedom Yoga and completed their Teacher Training.

I believe in teaching classes that are accessible and empowering. I draw my inspiration from communing with nature, the wisdom of Tantra, and the radical freedom of longboard skateboarding. I am amazed by the efficacy of the teachings of yoga in easing all suffering. In my practice, I have found my passion.  I am honored to share these teachings which I love and cherish so much.

In addition to Hatha Yoga I also have a deep relationship with the powerfully relaxing practice Yoga Nidra. I usually offer Yoga Nidra as part of savasana and I also teach dedicated Yoga Nidra classes.
