Until late 2000, my yoga consisted of various wanderings along this or that path, yoga here, yoga there, my own practice with nothing particularly consistent. Late in 2000, due to an ankle injury from running, I turned to yoga as a way to move and connect more fully to my own body. Suddenly my practice became regular, consistent, and more fulfilling. I discovered Anusara Yoga upon my return to Tucson in the fall of 2003. Because of the wonder and joy this practice brought to me, I pursued becoming a teacher just so I can share the flow of grace this movement brings.

I am an Anusara-inspired™ yoga instructor and registered with Yoga Alliance (200-RYT).  My main teachers are Darren Rhodes and John Friend, and have studied yoga philosophies with Dr. Douglas Brooks and Carlos Pomeda.  I have also taken Yoga Therapy with John Friend and Bruce Bowditch.  For my day to day connections I have wonderful teachers/mentors like Rachelle Cohen, Bruce Bowditch and Elizabeth Little.  I have taught yoga since January 2006 and teach in Tubac, Rio Rico and Tucson.
