The yoga teacher training that I went through emphasized correct alignment, injury prevention, and personal responsibility in practice and teaching. The asana element of practice was studied in the context of the mind-body relationship, especially looking at the ways that trauma lives in the body, the way that breath can facilitate healing, and the fascinating advances in Neuroscience that support this understanding.
My own approach as a teacher is rooted in mindfulness, bringing a loving awareness to body and breath. I deliver a gentle and restorative practice for beginners, and a deep vinyasa flow for more experienced yogis, creating space for everyone to find the inner rhythms to guide their practice. I am also an avid dancer, and enthusiastic about welcoming ecstatic movement into or after a more structured practice.
