"at the still point, there the dance is..."
accessing that still point—where life slows and happens moment by honest moment—isn't always as graceful as we'd like.
practicing the art of yoga can help you.

about
i began practicing yoga 15 years ago
in manhattan under marco rojas & jenny aurthur, teachers strongly influenced by the practice of iyengar, or alignment-based yoga, which emphasizes the space & grace created when the body opens.
my understanding of yoga changed when i began to practice in phoenix under teachers who believe the true practice of yoga isn't how well we execute the pose.
it's how well we can let ourselves ease into the pose & surrender to the breath & the stillness found there.
i've been teaching since 2017.
