meet your teacher:
I’m all about practical magic, holistic and accessible self + community care, and approachable + unifying spiritual teachings. I bring with me personal experience, the knowing and healing of pain + suffering and a story of continuously rising above it every day. We are all far more powerful than we realize. I’m here to support you in this realization.
Yoga found me when I was 15 years old and I haven’t stopped studying and practicing it since. At 15, I was masking a materializing depression coming from the internalization of dysfunctional relationships and trauma that was only beginning to reveal itself, followed by of toxic and abusive situations in intimate partnerships. The struggle with self-destructive and hopeless half-living was happening alongside a continued desire to keep doing yoga & study spiritual philosophy. Up until fairly recently I’ve credited yoga with saving my life, but I now see that it actually taught me how to save my own. It taught me to wake up and see beyond myself.
Yoga is a guided practice of paying attention and connecting to our true self through conscious breath, movement, + meditation. It’s a practice of realizing and celebrating our embodiment, our Divine roots, & the inter-connectedness of all things. It has been my biggest teacher and guide, both challenging me to confront myself and see myself more and more truly. This infinite source of nourishment and wisdom has only shown me more the further I go. This is why I teach. This is also why I devoted myself to teaching others how to practice, understand + integrate spiritual concepts into their lives.
I’m here to help you both soften + strengthen on the path through discomfort to assist you in wildly transforming. We all deserve to know a life beyond life’s traumas, pains and stresses. We all deserve to see the mystical, cosmic alignment of our life experiences leading to a higher purpose. We all deserve bliss & liberation. The easier it is to get there, the better. You got this. You are designed for this. You are, in fact, a spiritual being having a human experience living in a world made of spiritual stuff. It’s all Divine. Let’s learn to see it and know it. And let’s enjoy ourselves in the process.
I continue to study life, the body and mind, movement sciences, spiritual teachings, collective Consciousness, healing trauma, the intersection between science + spirituality, and personal transformation. Stay tuned for more. And thank you so much for being here. It means everything to me.

she/her/they
When I’m not teaching you can catch me outdoors camping, backpacking or rock climbing with my boyfriend and dog or dancing to house music in a dark room with a disco ball in it. I’d rather be barefoot. I’m a sucker for sunrises, sunsets, staring at stars. Animals are the best. Noodles, bread and pizza are food groups. I’m a successfully recovering caffeine-addict. Thank you, Ayurveda! I love to travel. Writing, music + movement are my creative outlets. I went to school to study psychology and social work. I believe I apply that in my line of work now. I believe that social justice + equality are a part of our collective dharma on the path to liberation.
I love life. Even the hardest parts. Life is so rad and mysterious, even if we forget sometimes. It all makes me cry and blows my mind. From the mundane to the tragic to the most awe inspiring.
If you don’t see me anywhere mentioned above, I’m probably napping.
