WHAT BROUGHT YOU INTO YOGA?
I found a book of my mother’s, Hittleman’s, that was titled something like 30 yoga poses in 30 days. I was doing a lot of sports during school and I wanted something to help stretch in between practices and games. There were stretches in the book that I wanted to try out, and by the time I was at the end of the book I realized it was helping way beyond just stretching - I felt more comfortable with my body, and it was allowing more mindfulness when I was doing basketball and swimming.

I actually felt like I was finding that flow state a little easier in my sports. I felt like I was getting into that more readily and I was like, how is this connected because I’m just doing stretches? My mind started calming down, and I was so curious about why, so I continued practicing. Eventually, I started practicing hot yoga in San Diego and that’s where it all clicked for me. I was like “Oh wow, you can find this flow state within a practice, too.” It doesn’t have to be as a support for something else, it could be its own thing.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PRACTICING YOGA, AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING?
I’ve been teaching for 10 years, and I started practicing in high school, but it was hard to find classes back then, so I was doing a lot at home.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STYLE, CLASS, OR POSE TO TEACH AND WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF TEACHING?
What I really enjoy is what gets you into that flow state where you can connect with your breath, and you can find a moving meditation within your practice.

I’ve trained in many styles and I like to integrate all of those practices together. So, some of my teaching offers chanting and meditation, and I love having a sequence that flows that you come back to again and again because that builds your practice and you can see progress.

WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO TAKE AWAY FROM EACH CLASS?
I want my students to find that state of flow in their own practice. I want them to be able to take that sense of unity that comes from practicing into their everyday life.

Dirgha Breath, also known as “Elongated Breath”, or “Three-Part Breath” is a wonderful way to slow down and deepen into your breath, helping to calm the body and mind.

This breath fills the full capacity of the lungs, but you do not need to strain to accomplish this, take in as much air as is comfortable each round and you will naturally expand the lungs capacity for air. Sonja mentioned sitting or standing to practice this breath, buy you can also practice reclined or lying down.

We hope you have been enjoying March Meditation at the studio! As we come towards the end of this month of meditation here is a 60 second practice to help you center yourself.

If you are just starting out on creating a daily meditation practice for yourself remember that you’re allowed to start small and keep it simple. 60 seconds of mindful stillness, or gazing at a single spot or object, or simply observing your breath. Choose one method and let yourself grow with it.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PRACTICING YOGA, AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING?
I’ve been practicing Yoga since I was 14, so almost 11 years; and I’ve been teaching for 3 years.

I got my certification in 2023 - I went to school at Westchester University in Pennsylvania and we had a program where you could get certified as a yoga teacher while doing your bachelors. So, I was taking the classes on top of all my normal classes, but at the end of my program, when I graduated, I told my mentor, Allison, I’m not ready yet, I don’t feel ready; and she let me stay in the program for an extra semester.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU INTO YOGA?
When I was 14 my sister brought home this Rodney Yee DVD and I started doing the videos with her because I was playing soccer at the time pretty competitively, and I needed a way to just stretch between practices. I ended up sticking with it and by the time I was 16 or 17, I was like, let me go to a studio and see what the vibe is, instead of just following a video.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STYLE, CLASS, OR POSE TO TEACH AND WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF TEACHING?
I was trained in a traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa way. However, we also focused a lot on restorative yoga, and that’s actually mostly what I teach now. That seems to be what I see my students benefit from most, so I’d say that Restorative is probably my favorite thing to teach. Although, I love Ashtanga for my personal practice as well.

WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO TAKE AWAY FROM EACH CLASS?
Well, it depends on the class but, I would say just to feel better than they did when they first came in because everyone’s dealing with something. So if I can help in any small way throughout the day, then that’s really nice. And also, a reminder to breathe deep.

DO YOU HAVE ANY LAST THOUGHTS, ADVICE, OR TIPS FOR US?
I would say that in a world full of technology, and hustle culture, and distractions learn to slow down and be mindful of your movements and of your breath.
