ABOUT ME
A bit of a late bloomer, and far from athletic, it wasn’t until I was in my mid-30s that I discovered yoga.
Noon yoga classes at a local gym near my office offered respite from the stressful corporate world. Enchanted by the incredible sense of calm that followed a rigorous class, and amazed by the progress I was making in strength and flexibility, I developed a passion for yoga that went beyond the purely physical practice.
In 2012, I took the plunge and completed my 200 hour certification through Nature Yoga Sanctuary. In 2014, I completed Restorative Yoga Teacher training with Leann Carey, 85-hour Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training at Moksha Yoga Center, and also trained with Thérèse Hak-Kuhn of ToLabor to become a professional Birth Doula.
I specialize in both vinyasa classes and prenatal classes at local studios in Chicago. My approach is non-intimidating with a focus on thoughtful sequencing to provide a challenging, yet accessible class for both beginners and experienced yogis.
I specialize in group, private and corporate classes and would love to connect with anyone looking to begin or deepen their practice. Please see my Offerings tab for further details on sessions with me.
