Yoga contains the opportunity for all of us to return home to our sacred
bodies and breath. I attended my first yoga class in 1990 in a summer dance
workshop. Yoga was for me a natural segue from dance - an opportunity to
continue living fully from within the body in a more healthy integrated way.
I dove into daily yoga study and practice in 1997 and began teaching full
time in 2000. I completed two teacher trainings, one with Erich Schiffmann
and another with Sat Santokh Sing. Over the years I continue to study asana
with Bay Area Iyengar teachers such as Tony Briggs, Ramanand Patel and
Patricia Sullivan. As a matter of course, I became fascinated with the
philosophical underpinnings of the asana practice. This led me to India in
2005 to study Advaita Vedanta with Swami Dayananda Saraswati. Emphasizing
the breath and incorporating yogic philosophy transforms the simple physical
work of asana into a spiritual practice. I see life and yoga class as a
grand adventure, but be warned that I am a joke school dropout. Please feel
