I’m not just another yoga teacher. I work to serve individuals and families in all stages of life. I specialize in the communities most yoga teachers are either not trained to teach or don’t have the capacity to teach well: prenatal women, postnatal women, kids, families, and senior citizens.
When I work with your family, I lead you all through a yogic lifestyle in which you are connected to your core sense of self in body, mind, voice, and spirit. More importantly, you are connected as a family because you live a life of integrity together.
