Introduction	After a childhood of climbing trees, playing soccer, and tumbling in gymnastics, I caught the yoga bug. For over ten years it grew into an urgency to share the unique experience that yoga can bring to each individual. I trained to "facilitate" yoga in Seattle at The Samarya Center for Integrated Movement Therapy and Ashtanga Yoga™ in 2006. Since then I've been digging deeper. I study Yoga Anatomy with Leslie Kaminoff at the Breathing Project. I practice asana both independently and with brilliant instructors like, Genny Kapuler. I read classic yoga texts and practice a sattvic lifestyle. Yoga can enhance all aspects of your life. To me, yoga practice is a celebration of being alive and able in the world. My classes move dynamically and settle into moments of bringing consciousness to how we are in the postures in relation to the space around us. My hope is that we can be better in our communities and the world by working on ourselves. Off the mat, I teach college English and Speech, ride bikes, and write poetry.
