On this week when we, in the United States, are celebrating Independence Day - while simultaneously seeming anything but united in our political discourse - I considered what my role, as a yoga and meditation teacher, could be during this time of conversational crisis. This is a metta-style meditation practice that I have found very supportive of how I want to engage with people in my own life.

You can study with me in a private or semi-private session at my home studio in Louisville, KY.

I travel to lead workshops in businesses and with groups who want to discover how yoga can cultivate a more spacious, more peaceful, more creative life. Bringing an easy-going, non-dogmatic approach to my yoga instruction, I revel in helping you find the best way to have a yoga practice that meets your needs and grows with you.

An avowed anatomy nerd, my own yoga practice is a moving meditation, gathering influences from many yoga traditions and contemporary understanding of the human body. My lessons are infused with creativity, humor, and a grounded calm that comes with being a professional actor, at ease with one person or 1,000. I am a 200-hour certified yoga teacher, registered with the Yoga Alliance, and currently working on my 500 hour certification at Asheville Yoga Center.
