Yoga offers a beautiful opportunity for us to connect to ourselves and to the present moment. It creates space to counter the disconnection we often feel in our modern lives: from each other, from our authentic selves, and from being awake and intentional in the life we are living now.
I offer a yoga practice that encourages students to recognize and develop their own unique, inherent strengths and to tap into that inner delight that comes from being fully present. My classes include fun and creative sequences focusing on a thoughtful progression of poses, designed to build in equal measure: strength, mobility, and flexibility.
We spend so much of our days dwelling in our heads and taking things so seriously. My response to that tendency is to offer a lighthearted and supportive approach to yoga asana, that lets us get out of our heads and into the here and now.
For a well-rounded, comprehensive yoga practice, the physical benefits of asana are balanced with delving inward and over time, getting to know who you are, and what you're made of. In my teaching, I also seek to cultivate an inner vitality and self-awareness that leads to greater resilience in life, both on and off our yoga mats.

I began practicing yoga after the birth of my first child in 2002. Initially, I was drawn to yoga for the movement and to build physical strength. Over time, this physical practice evolved into a deeper, more fulfilling journey. After a lifetime of believing I was neither physically strong nor athletic, my yoga practice gradually transformed that limiting view into one that is more empowering, peaceful, and generally more fun.
Both my personal yoga practice and my teaching draw from various movement modalities but remain strongly rooted in Vinyasa Yoga. Off my yoga mat, I enjoy strength training, High Intensity Interval Training, teaching Les Mills' Body Balance, as well as travel, cooking, gardening, spending time with my amazing young adult kids, and being in, on, or near the sea with my artist husband, Stuart King, of 25 years.
I completed my 200-hour Yoga Alliance registered training, specializing in both Vinyasa and Hatha styles of yoga, along with certified trainings in teaching yoga to beginners, yoga sequencing and technique, and injury prevention and management. I am also a Les Mills certified Body Balance Instructor. Just as a yoga practice is an ongoing journey of learning and development, I continue to seek out learning opportunities, science-backed and anatomically sound education, and the wisdom of other teachers and modalities to inspire my own teaching style.
