My yoga practice began over 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 these practices that I love with reverence and joy.

In addition to being a yoga student and teacher, 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 committed to ensuring that beginner yoga students find a practice that welcomes and supports them and completed an 18-hour course devoted specifically to teaching new yoga students. I am also a certified Nature and Forest Therapy guide with the Association for Nature and Forest Therapy and completed Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Training as well. 2025 is my fifth year teaching yoga in the Indiana Dunes National Park and I also lead forest therapy walks throughout the park. I also offer yoga classes, private lessons and forest therapy walks in and around NW Indiana and Chicago. My family and I live surrounded by the Indiana Dunes National Park and love nurturing ourselves in nature’s playground all year long.
