Biography:

When I took my first yoga class in November 2007 I fell in love with asana practice and the inner experiences it cultivated. Shortly after that I grew tired of making a living in unsatisfying ways which led me to explore teaching yoga as my life's work. That exploration led me toSvaroopa® yoga. Being used to classical Hatha and Vinyasaclasses, the first pose in my first Svaroopa® class felt like the least effective pose I’d ever done - so much so I almost got up and left! I am glad I stayed. After class was over I knew this was the only style of yoga I wanted to practice and teach, and after 200 hours of training that truth is even more firmly embedded. I have experienced a sense of freedom along with peace and understanding that I never imagined possible. It is with great joy and admiration that I am able to facilitate others in their related process as well.

Yoga in the Svaroopa® style incorporates traditional Hatha yoga poses with careful attention to alignment and propping to meet the bodies tensions, allowing the layers of muscles wrapped around the spinal column to release. Because these are the core muscles in our bodies, releasing them offers a deep opening, a greater sense of self-awareness, and an incredible experience of bliss. Yoga in the Svaroopa® style is not physically strenuous or vigorous; its subtle nature allows for the awareness of changes within the body, mind, and spirit throughout the practice.
