I have been practicing yoga since 2013 when I would drop in occasionally to vinyasa classes at a studio in Boston. After several years, I began to attend a vinyasa yoga class on a weekly basis. In 2018, I moved to New York City to study dance, and found that after yoga class, a pain in my shoulder would go away. This spurred me to want to learn more about yoga, so I took the 200-hour teacher training with Kula Yoga Project. After the training, I have continued my studies by taking weekly classes with Iyengar yoga teacher Nikki Costello and Kula teacher Nikki Villela. I also completed a Kula 75-hour advanced teacher training in 2023. The past several years I have been subbing classes for Kula, teaching a weekly community class at my residence, and teaching a weekly online class on Zoom. I also have been teaching yoga to students with autism.

I love being a dedicated student of yoga. I am frequently integrating yoga concepts into places beyond the yoga studio, such as at a part-time job I have as a water engineer. Taking yoga classes profoundly helped me and changed the course of my life, in numerous ways. I don’t have blood tests to show it, but yoga helped me adjust the chemistry of my body at a time that I was extremely unwell.

I teach from my own experience.
