SpecialitieS

I enjoy teaching individuals and classes of all ages, levels of experience, and physical fitness. Some of my areas of speciality:
 

Athletes

Along with good body awareness, athletes sometimes have injury, muscle memory and tightness, and muscle imbalance. As a former college athlete, I relate easily to the body type, physical wear and tear, and mindset. I’ve enjoyed introducing yoga to a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player, and one of New Zealand’s former national kick boxing champions among others.

Beginners

I love teaching beginners! Nothing beats sharing yoga with newcomers. I make sure class is welcoming and fun. I’ve taught classes of mixed levels, including many first-time yogis. Every class provides strong fundamentals that keep bodies safe, breathing steady, and minds relaxed.

Over 40

While many people over 40 are as fit as ever, some of us are working with injuries or joint issues. I’m experienced in modifying poses to accommodate a variety of physical issues, and to adjusting class so that each student can work at their own edge and get the most out of their practice. A full and fun yoga practice is available to everyone.

Skeptics

I took my first yoga class for the sole purpose of injury prevention for my gym workouts. 20 years later I’m a 500-hour certified teacher who continues to marvel at yoga’s benefits. If you’d like try to yoga, but aren’t sure ‘breathing through your third eye’ is for you, I’m your teacher.
