About

Yoga

Yoga is not an act of performance; it is a sovereign return to oneself. With a background rooted in Kripalu Yoga, I guide students away from the 'noise' of the external world and toward the Middle Path of stability and self-regulation. My teaching is built on the principle of Brahmacharya—the wise use of energy—helping you build a practice that is substantial, rhythmic, and deeply restorative. We don't practice to fit into a pose; we practice to inhabit our own lives with more clarity and strength.


Personal Growth

I believe that true healing and lasting change arise from a place of deep self-awareness and compassionate presence. I offer a unique approach to personal growth that integrates yoga, meditation, and mindfulness-based coaching to guide you on a journey of profound self-discovery.

My philosophy is rooted in the principle of mindfulness: the understanding that real transformation occurs not through force, but through gentle awareness. By cultivating a state of relaxed, non-judgmental attention, we can access the root causes of our habitual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors – material often hidden from traditional talk therapy.

I found myself the audience to a familiar, exhausting internal ping-pong match: “You’re not getting any...

The Hinge Trap: Why Modern Dating Feels Like a Lose-Lose for Empowered Women
A few weeks ago, I found myself sitting across from a man I met on Hinge. On paper, everything aligned. And for what it’s worth, I look pretty good on paper, too: smart, witty, thriving in my career, and passionate about mountain biking. My friends frequently describe me as a strong, empowered woman. Yet, as the date progressed, I noticed a familiar, insidious ghost crashing the party: the fawn response. Without even realizing it, my lifelong conditioning kicked in. I abandoned my authentic...

The Paradox of Practice: How Spiritual Discipline Unlocks True Play
Recently, I was on a date and mentioned that I have a daily meditation practice. The response? A polite but skeptical, "Oof, that all sounds a bit too serious for me." It really got me thinking. On the surface, I get it. Sitting in silence, tracking your breath, and committing to daily inner work doesn't exactly scream "party." It looks like rigid discipline. But that comment stayed with me, and it made me realize how deeply we misunderstand the relationship between discipline, rest, and...
