Bliss is our forgotten identity. Yoga helps us remember.
Modern living poses significant challenges to sustained happiness and fulfillment. Social media, information overload, the increased demands of our careers and social isolation (loneliness is on the rise, according to the Surgeons General) has led to a crisis of stress, burnout, anxiety and depression. It’s no wonder everyone is honking their horns and bickering on Facebook.
In our hyperactive, stress-filled lives, meditation offers an opportunity to quiet the incessant chatter of our thoughts, see our circumstances more clearly, and respond rather than react to life. Meditation teaches the mind to approach greater mental stillness and emotional steadiness. By learning to observe our mind without getting caught up in its stories, anxieties and stresses, we begin to have the distinct experience we are not our thoughts; we are the awareness perceiving them.

Sarvanga Yoga
Sarvanga means complete, a yoga practice that uses every mechanism in the tradition, including pranayama, bandha, kriya, yoga nidra and meditation — not just asana — to bring about meaningful transformation in one’s life and hopefully (eventually) a glimpse of our true nature as bearing the image and likeness of the Divine.
The gift of concentration
Is the spaciousness that surrounds it.
Focus Illuminates immensity.

I bow to my teachers…
I'm focused on helping you relieve chronic pain, alleviate stress, and live a life with purpose using the wide array of healing modalities from the yoga tradition.
Like many who turn to yoga, I suffer from back pain, depression and anxiety. But thanks to my daily practice, I have more good days than bad. Since 2007, I've helped others discover the benefits of yoga.
As a GOYA-ECYT-500, YA-ERYT-500, American Yoga Council Level 3 Teacher, I offer skilled guidance in a therapeutic and individualized approach to yoga asana, pranayama, meditation and yoga nidra in the Sri Vidya tradition, as informed by my ongoing studies with my primary teacher Yogarupa Rod Stryker, founder of Tantra Yoga Alchemy/ParaYoga.
I was first introduced to hatha yoga from the perspective of Tantra — the skillful use of energetics for personal evolution — through training in Embodying the Flow, Mandala of Asanas and Prana Mandala Vinyasa (200 hours) with global innovator and yoginiraj Shiva Rea, founder of Prana Vinyasa Flow. I continue my studies with Shivaji through her Samudra Global School of Living Yoga. I am also working toward certification as a Tantra Yoga Alchemy master teacher with Yogarupa Rod Stryker.
