Why More Than Poses?

When I started yoga, all I cared about were the poses: how I looked in the poses, how “perfectly” I was doing the poses, and how quickly I could get into the poses. And of course, I’d judge myself if I “failed” at a pose. Through learning, self-reflection, time, injuries, age and patience, I’ve come to realize that there’s more to yoga than poses, and more to life than being perfect.

Why I teach

I hold space for those who are searching for more, or seeking transformation through awareness and acceptance. Movement, breath and stillness give me life and keep me grounded on and off the mat, and I’m passionate about sharing that with others. At a basic level, I want to help students love yoga and, in turn, love themselves.

What I’m working on

While the practice of yoga has empowered me for over 12 years, I continue to work on overcoming insecurities and self-doubt on a daily basis. I’m also working on finding freedom by worrying less about what others think of me.
