ERYT-500 Yoga Instructor, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist and Studio Owner

To say that I love yoga is an understatement.  I have practiced since I was a law student back in 1983.  I sought out a class at the YMCA to help alleviate stress and immediately felt at ease both mentally and physically on my mat.  I continued practicing while a prosecutor in Chicago, and through several international moves with my family.  We arrived in Wisconsin where I began to take my love of yoga to a deeper level and became a teacher.

I have been teaching for over ten years now and the more I teach and experience the healing power of yoga, I simply want to share this wonderful practice with as many people as I can.   I am fascinated by the connection of the body, mind, heart and spirit and meeting all through the healing modalities of yoga and meditation.  We all have an innate healing potential; and I love facilitating our student’s ability to recognize and foster that potential through movement, breath, mudra and meditation. Yoga is for everyone – all body shapes, all abilities! I feel after a practice we all walk off of our mats and into the world a bit more at peace and ease. I relish being a part of that process!

When not studying or practicing yoga, I enjoy kayaking, hiking, traveling, cooking and reading – as well as spending time with my husband, three children and two naughty bulldogs!

I look forward to seeing you in the studio!
