I was introduced to Anusara yoga in June of 2003 at the insistence of my good friend, Peter Goodman, and from the moment I heard the beauty of the opening invocation, I knew I was home. I began my teacher training with Deb Neubauer, in January of 2004, and completed the year long 200 hour program. My deep interest in the elegant Tantric philosophy of Anusara Yoga has inspired my studies with Dr. Douglas Brooks, Dr. Manoj Chalam, and Dr. William Mahony. I was awarded my Anusara Certificate in March of 2014. My specific areas of interest are the therapeutic applications of Anusara’s Universal Principles of Alignment™ and the exploration of the spiritual and philosophical foundations of this yoga.

I was honored to of serve as a founding member of the Anusara School of Hatha Yoga from 2012 – 2016, and am so proud to be part of this dynamic and vibrant community. It’s gratifying to see that this empowering practice is growing throughout the world. I am currently a Master’s candidate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Goddard College and have been incorporating my academic learning into my teaching, particularly in areas of traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.

In addition to practicing and teaching, I enjoy the radical beauty of the island of Martha’s Vineyard with my husband, Jeremy. I love cooking, beaching combing, exploring the island’s extensive network of trails with canine companion Jemma, attending to my little black cat Kali’s every whim, and connecting with my Anusara kula friends from all over the world at workshops, trainings, and on the web.
