My yoga practice began nearly 30 years ago in San Francisco, California and yoga’s teachings form the core of who I am and who I aspire to be. My yoga and meditation offerings are designed to reveal and support an embodied experience of freedom, playfulness and possibility, and are inspired by the 8-fold path attributed to Patanjali, a diversity of spiritual practices and perspectives, and all I continue to learn from my students, my teachers, and Mother Nature.

I share what I love with reverence and joy.

In addition to being a student of yoga who teaches, I am a wife and doting (dog) mom, proud aunt and godmother, nature lover, cheese enthusiast, spiritual seeker, and hammock napper. I am a 500 hour Yoga Alliance-certified Yoga Teacher and completed my 200 hour training in Chicago, Illinois with teachers Erica Merrill (student of Brian Kest and others) and Chrissy Gonzalez (student of Joan Hyman and others), and my 300 hour training with Jason Crandell. I am a certified Nature and Forest Therapy guide with the Association for Nature and Forest Therapy and have also completed Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Training. I teach public and private yoga lessons and lead forest therapy walks in Chicago and in and around the Indiana Dunes National Park. It is a privilege and a thrill to offer yoga classes in our national park for the fifth year in a row in 2025 and to offer forest therapy walks in the park now as well!
