yoga classes
my classes offer opportunities to strengthen and comfort the body, sharpen the mind, and open the heart. to heal, to revel in ecstasy, to deepen your kinesthetic awareness. i hope to help you become more supple, powerful, and present. classes are taught spontaneously, drawing from my eclectic studies in a wide range of traditions, and vary to suit those present in body, mind, and moment. we generally practice to music. these classes are open to practitioners of any level of experience, including new beginners.

Early Morning & Morning Series
at Home
It is traditional to practice in the morning upon rising to set the tone for the day. This small group class is limited to five students who commit for a 5 week series. The intention is for a physically and spiritually challenging practice with generous individual attention, massage, and reiki.
