ABOUT ME
My mission is to teach children, pre-teens, teens, and adults how to calm and settle their minds using yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. These foundational tools allowed me to completely rebuild my approach to navigating life, starting in January 2022.
After teaching high school English in the Bay Area for 17 years, I experienced a massive burn-out that made me mentally, emotionally, and physically ill.
Unfortunately, many of my students and colleagues were experiencing the same things I was - chronic anxiety, overwhelming stress, and the feeling that we never had enough time to accomplish what we needed to get done - let alone find the time for self-care.
I was forced to reflect on my past actions, put my needs first, and begin my journey toward healing – after consistently putting the needs of others ahead of my own for almost two decades.
One of the first things I did was go to a yoga class - something I hadn’t done in over eight years, before the birth of my daughter. It proved a transformational decision, and motivated me to complete my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (at San Francisco’s Yoga Garden, now Folk) in December 2022.
