+ How long have you been practicing yoga? How did you begin?

My yoga journey began in February 2015. You can read about my story here!

+ What kind of yoga do you practice?

I try to practice different styles of yoga when I attend studios. My personal home practice though is mostly a combination of Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga - I like to link breath with movement, sometimes holding postures for more than a few breaths. I love the freedom and creativity that comes from the Vinyasa sequencing - every single class is different and it allows you to move more intuitively. I also practice Yin Yoga, which is a slower paced style that incorporates principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine with asanas that are held for longer periods of time.

+ What kind of yoga classes do you teach?

My training is in Vinyasa Yoga which forms the foundation of my teaching. I've also studied other styles such as Power/Hot, Yin and Gentle + Restorative. My anatomy and bodywork experiences tend to find their way into my teachings as well. I intend to offer a practice that is balanced, safe and playful. I believe incorporating meaningful sequences and themes are essential in order to infuse a class with purpose and intention.

+ Where are you based?
