What can students expect from your classes?


A grounded, supportive practice that balances strength and softness, encouraging students to move with awareness, curiosity, and ease. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where your practice can flourish, supporting and guiding you through whatever season of life you’re in.

About me

As a classically trained ballet dancer, my classes are heavily influenced by musicality and flow. I love linking movement with breath, creating thoughtful sequences that elevate energy and encourage a sense of connection between mind, body, and soul.

My classes are informed by over a decade of teaching and a genuine interest in how movement and breath can support both physical and emotional wellbeing, creating practices that feel grounded, sustainable, and supportive. I look forward to flowing and rising together.

What should students expect from your class?

Movement saved and changed my life, which is why I’m a big advocate for not just physical health, but emotional, mental, and overall wellbeing. We’re all just doing our best at this human thing. I believe movement is a powerful tool to come back home to yourself, especially on the hardest days.

About Me

A teacher by day and an overanalyzer and existentialist by night. What lights me up about teaching is witnessing small moments of breakthrough — when someone does something they didn’t think they could or when they find a moment of relief after surviving the hard stuff, one breath at a time. I love teaching because I’ve experienced the power of movement firsthand, which transcends movement, and it’s incredibly fulfilling seeing others push through what they thought they couldn’t — physically at first, and then mentally and emotionally as a result. When I’m not teaching or practicing, I’m all about slow mornings, good coffee, losing myself in a book, writing, or bribing my cat for cuddles.
