➊ I'm a Boston-based yoga instructor whose classes include Slow Flow, Align, Gentle, and Restorative.
➋ With thoughtful sequencing and precise verbal cues, I help students understand the architecture of each pose as it manifests in their own bodies. In both my classes and private sessions, I aim to create a warm and inclusive environment, where curiosity, honesty, and experimentation come out to play while things like perfectionism and negative self-talk take a nap.
➌ I've been practicing yoga for twenty-five years. During that time, my practice has helped me raise two children, publish four books of creative nonfiction, and manage the lingering after-effects childhood trauma. I've found that a little time on the mat every day gives me more patience, cheerfulness, energy, and clarity. I teach in order to help my students access similar benefits.
➍ I received both my 200-hour and 300-hour trainings at Down Under School of Yoga. Having practiced Ashtanga for many years, as I've grown older, I've transitioned my personal practice to Iyengar. I am now studying with my mentor, Rosie Richardson, to become a Level One certified instructor in that method. Outside of yoga, I'm a writer.

➎ I teach public classes at
Boston Yoga Union. Additionally, I assist two senior teachers in weekly classes at Down Under Yoga: Rosie Richardson in her Friday Back Care class, and Masaaki Okamura in his Saturday Slow Flow class. I also assist senior teacher Kate Heffernan in her asana sessions in Down Under's 200-hour teacher training.
