Specialties

Hello, I specialize in alignment, restorative yoga, and weight loss.

I began my training in the Anusara style, and my greatest teachers had strong Iyengar foundations. If you are dealing with a specific limitation or injury, or are working on unlocking your body in a specific way (hamstrings, anyone?) I can guide you safely towards your goals.

As a child I was fat, and I hated my body. Yoga was the first place I found acceptance, both from others and then for myself. The practice of yoga and awareness, along with its sister science Ayurveda, have helped me to reshape my body, fit and healthy. If 6-​pack abs are your goal, you may want to look elsewhere; but if safely learning to love your body while shedding the outer layers of protection from the world is your goal, then I’m your man.

Finally, after years of a very athletic vinyasa style practice, I am coming home to stillness. I still get sweaty on my mat, but I truly appreciate the benefits of restorative yoga, of supporting the body fully so that it can unwind, regenerate, renew. I see so many people dealing with stress, that could profoundly benefit from my restorative practice. I accompany the poses with antique Tibetan singing bowls and other sound healing modalities to create a cocoon of loving, healing space.
