TEACHING VIBE

What brought you to yoga? We love a good origin story.

I was a gym rat and one of my trainers introduced certain yoga postures to help stretch me out after our workouts. That piqued my curiosity enough for me to try my first vinyasa class.

How would you describe your teaching flow?

My flows revolve around strength in form and breath. I generally don't teach fast flows as I'm a stickler for alignment. Your body *will* be working hard to hold the shape of your asana so that you build up the requisite muscle memory. Only then can you allow your mind to disconnect from the motion and dive into each moment. I also encourage my students to smile, and recognize the joy in their movement.

Music Preferences? What is always on your playlist? Favorite artist?

I have a little bit of everything on my playlist from Kirtan to k-pop. I try to blend everything into a cohesive whole with the aim of adding to the ambience rather than being a distraction.

What was your most memorable yoga experience?

My YTT training, for sure. The entire experience was life-changing.

Any teacher shoutouts? Favorite yoga teacher?

Stephanie Ford. The creativity of her classes and the warmth of her personality makes every flow with her a wonderful experience.
