What should students expect from your class?

Expect a warm, inclusive environment in which to focus, connect with your body, get sweaty, and maybe even have a bit of a laugh!

About Me

I discovered yoga through community classes in a tiny resort town in New Zealand, and immediately fell in love with the practice. As a travelling professional snowboard bum I spent the next 10 years practicing yoga in whatever form I could find, in whatever ski resort town I was living at the time.

At first yoga was just a physical complement to the snowboarding, skiing, running, dance, and other activities in my life, but it soon became clear that the mindful aspects of the practice were equally impactful. With this revelation began a lifelong journey of curiosity, learning, and personal growth, through my yoga practice.

I am passionate about creating warm, welcoming spaces for people to connect and find joy and grounding, while also challenging themselves to be curious and open to growth. I am so grateful to be continuously learning from my own teachers, which empowers me to provide a safe and inclusive environment within my classes, while not taking myself too seriously!
