All I’ve ever wanted to do is move, dance and let my spirit free.
Hailing from one of the bigger meccas of yoga, NYC. I took my first vinyasa class in 2000 at Jivamukti Yoga Center. I had a feeling of arriving home. We moved through postures seamlessly with an emphasis of breath-body connection. The spiritual aspect of the practice also appealed to me. I’ve always found movement to be sacred. Through movement I feel as though I’m communing with the Divine. As the Sufis say so poetically, “everything is Divine, everything brings us closer to that which is Divine”.
I received my certification at Sonic Yoga NYC in 2003.
I met Shiva Read shortly thereafter and again, felt as though I had come home. Shiva created a language for the kind of movement I’ve been doing my whole life. Praise Shiva! I’ve been studying and assisting her ever since.
My unique sequencing is influenced primarily by Shiva Rea. Other teachers who have influenced me are Stacey Brass, Dana Flynn and my background in dance. I minored in dance in at Hunter College.
I invite you to be playful in your practice, remembering that lightness is found in spirit!
