My approach to teaching yoga empowers students to modify poses to honor the body they inhabit today, while encouraging exploration of what’s possible through appropriate challenges. My goal is to help students deepen their practice with curiosity, respect, and self-compassion.

My Hatha Flow class is suitable for all levels of experience. Starting with an opportunity to center oneself in the studio and one’s body, this sequence goes from gentle warm up poses, builds toward challenges to balance and strength, and ends with a reconnection to the earth and self.

August 2026

Last month, I began class with a practice intended to align the breath with the body’s movements. One of the things I misunderstood about yoga asana when I began practicing all those decades ago was the importance of pairing my breath with a pose. I also didn’t understand that I should follow the natural rhythm of my breath and not the pace of the yoga instructor. For instance, if the instructor said “inhale and raise your arms overhead,” I did so but also proceeded to hold my breath while I waited for them to say “exhale and . . .”. It was a little while before I understood that I should continue to inhale and exhale at my natural pace and simply wait for my next inhale or exhale to follow the instructor’s cues. I hope you will consider refocusing your efforts to pacing your poses with your breath and that it will make a meaningful impact on your practice.
