I began practicing yoga in 2014 as a means to relieve stress, increase body awareness, and clear the mind. Since then, yoga has been a consistent teacher in my life both on and off the mat. 

Students can expect a breath-centered and carefully paced experience that encourages inward awareness. My classes are thoughtfully themed and intentionally sequenced with energetic intent at the heart of each class plan. Pranayama is emphasized in every class and I love to incorporate subtle body concepts like the chakras to encourage accessible, practical application.   

I began teaching once I completed my 200-hr YTT at aUM Yoga Ann Arbor in 2018. I’ve since completed hundreds of hours of additional training, workshops, and studies in topics including yin yoga, sequencing, and hands on assists. In 2022, I completed a 50-hr mentorship at Detroit Yoga Lab. In 2024, I completed a 5-month 1:1 personalized continuing education training with Jim Bennitt and James Tennant focused on philosophy, pranayama, Ayurveda, chakra, bandha, and mudra. 

I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel cared for, empowered to listen to their bodies, and encouraged to tap into their own inner wisdom. My intention is to offer practical insight to guide students in their yoga journey, and to recognize yoga not simply as something we ‘do’ for 1-hour blocks, but as a way of intentional living.
