I design classes to suit the ability and comfort levels of my students. My classes are both invigorating and calming, teaching students to be steady, strong, and at ease in their yoga practice. "Attention" is a vital word in my classes. I encourage students to pay more and more attention to the alignment of their poses, to the rhythms of their breath, and to the process of coordinating breath and movement to discover newfound physical and mental freedom. According to my teaching philosophy, when students learn to pay more attention to their alignment, to their breath, and to their body working as one unified system, they experience a powerful sense of integration and balance that relieves stress and gives flight to physical, mental, and spiritual strength. My goal is to give students an experience of the vigor, grace, and peace residing within themselves.
