Living as much of my life as possible in Tuscany, adventuring with my little family the rest of the time. I teach a powerful and empowering, flow oriented class with an emphasis on alignment, core engagement and graceful transitions. I customize both the physical and therapeutic intensity levels of the practice significantly for each student or group, working with the belief that we are all incredibly unique and our yoga practice should be a reflection of that truth, and in service to it. My teaching style weaves in work with the subtle body, exploring creative ways to access the chakra system, the nadis, the vayus and the koshas through breath work (pranayama), physical postures (asana) and concentrated visualization (dharana). I am committed to offering access to liberation and empowerment to my students through increased self-awareness, which I believe ultimately leads to self-love. Practicing consistently with me will provide you with a strong foundation in yoga principles, increased strength and flexibility, a quieter mind and a deeper appreciation for your Self and your life. In addition to teaching for several local studios including Agoura Power of Yoga, coolhotyoga, Inner Power Yoga and Yoga Desa, I enjoy working with private clients, including the Calabasas High School Boys Soccer team, Cliffside Malibu, Wellfit Malibu, Horizons Senior Center, Milestones, The Muse School and The Sycamore School in Malibu. I am also passionate about working with individuals either in their own home or at a studio – incorporating not only the physical aspect of the yoga practice, but breath work, philosophy, meditation and ultimately the full scope of the yogic lifestyle. I am also the founder of Imagine Fest, the community oriented yoga, art and music festival which raises funds and awareness in support of Unlikely Heroes, a local non-profit rescuing and rehabilitating child victims of s*x trafficking.
