TEACHING STYLE
My teaching style is inspired by the various disciplines I have studied throughout my life including dance, yoga, and Pilates. I've blended the best of each forms into a practice that helps to serve your personal transformation with creativity, intuition, and resilience. In my classes, I aim to create an experience of flow.
"Flow is the absence of resistance. Flow encourages meditation in motion: When you ride the flow like a wave, it moves you out of your head and into your body and the present moment." - Baron Baptiste
I begin each class with a centering posture to bring awareness to the body and mind. I always invite students to feel empowered in their practice by modifying or amplifying whenever necessary. Classes always close with a resting posture to allow the body to absorb the benefits of the practice. Whether you take a heated Flow class with dynamic, continuous sequencing or a gentle Yin class to redirect the flow of energy via deep stretch, after a class with me, you will feel balanced and radiant.
