I am a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (CIYT) and have been a loyal Iyengar yoga student since 1999. In 2014 I traveled to India to study with the Iyengar family at the Ramamani Memorial Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune. There, I studied with Prashant, Geeta, Abhijata Iyengar, and Devki Desai. Other senior-level teachers with whom I have studied: Leslie Bradley, Craig Kurtz, Nancy Stechert, Elise Miller, Patrica Walden, Dean and Rebecca Lerner, Gabriella Guibilaro, Stephanie Quirk, and others. Influenced by these teachers, I am grateful and deeply indebted to each one of them for the knowledge, inspiration, and compassion they have taught me. As a student, I continue to learn, grow and reap the benefits from my teachers.

​

I am a passionate student of yoga and enjoy sharing my passion with others. In teaching, I share the joy, precision, and creativity of the Iyengar practice through dynamic sequences and new variations of the poses. I teach with an emphasis on alignment and awareness, encouraging focus and balance for mind and body.

​

I also hold a certification as a Nutrition Educator from Bauman College.

In addition to yoga, I am passionate about spending time with family (especially my three granddaughters) and friends, cooking, gardening, long walks, and traveling! Italy, of course, is my favorite place to visit!
