A Forever Student of Yoga and Ayurveda

I started as a dance teacher, even running my own studio for a while, before yoga found me as a way to move my body. What began as exercise slowly became a way to live.

Training at Tulaa introduced me to Ayurveda, and everything started to make sense. Connecting yoga and Ayurveda gave me a path I didn’t know I needed, and from there came the desire to share it with anyone who wanted to learn alongside me.

Almost thirty years into practicing and twelve years into teaching, I still think of myself as a forever student. I love to learn, read, and take trainings, so over the years I’ve added certifications in restorative and chair yoga, trauma informed yoga, accessible yoga, yoga and Ayurveda for women’s health, and Ayurvedic body treatments.

I’ve taught in high schools and elementary schools, and led volunteer classes at a women’s housing facility and a senior residence, and every one of those spaces has reminded me why I do this work. I really love people, and I really love yoga and Ayurveda, and I love mixing them all together even more, holding space for like minded folks wherever I can.

Once a year I hold a women’s retreat, a few days away from the everyday for shared practice, rest, and connection. Baby steps, but it’s how I’d love this space to keep growing.
