What should students expect from your class?

I think of the yoga practice as a journey that balances structure and fluidity.

About Me

My practice began about 20 years ago. Years of competitive sports had me wound so tight that it took nearly a year to touch my toes. There was an immediate shift in my hamstrings, but the far more profound shift in my whole being was what hooked me. Yoga is magic. After nearly a decade of practice, I pursued her first teacher training program in Costa Rica, with the intention of deepening my personal practice and having an extended vacation from a demanding finance career. The rest is history. 

I credit the depth of my practice and love of yoga to the many esteemed teachers I have studied with over the years, particularly Annie Carpenter, Schuyler Grant, Nikki Villela, Carrie Owerko, and Abbie Galvin. My teaching is also informed and inspired by Functional Movement Systems. I teach public classes in Vancouver, and workshops, trainings, and retreats all over the world. I also offer virtual classes through my online platform, Movement Method, with my co-founder Matt Phippen of Los Angeles.
