Welcome.
I’m an Oregon yoga and SUP yoga teacher and creator of Yoga + Beer pairings. And I’m really glad you’re here. Here’s a bit more about me and my teaching.
A little bit about me: She/Her. Married to an incredible partner and grateful to live in the beautiful state of Oregon. I'm an introvert and a deep feeler of everyone's feelings and energy - which for me translates to caring about creating spaces that aspire to be welcoming and inclusive. I'm always looking to challenge my understanding of myself, of yoga, and the world we live in and to grow my awareness of how my words and actions impact others. I'm Type A to the core (working on letting go sometimes), analytical and generally consider myself to be a bit of nerd. Piano player. Book worm. Backyard chicken mama. Seeker of international travel. Chaser of sunsets. Craft beer admirer. Hiker. Stand Up Paddleboarder. Proud owner of Shanti the Shiba. All-around lover of life.
I have been teaching since 2010 and primarily teach a flowing, vinyasa style. My classes are anatomically informed and soulfully inspired and reflect what I've found to be empowering from the time I've spent on my own mat in practice (you can read about my certifications on my website). I aspire to infuse my passion for the practice, my love of music and genuine, life-inspired musings into each class. As an analytical human, I enjoy an alignment-based approach to asana, but believe that the alignment of postures should be something that is learned from the inside out, not from written rules. I strive to invite freedom of exploration, observation, and inquiry into each class that I teach, so that over time you learn what your authentic alignment is, on your mat, and off. My style creates a space for yogis to be challenged and to grow their practice, but also to find ease, confidence, laughter, yogi friends and bliss.
Welcome. I look forward to getting to know you.
