ABOUT

I offer  yoga and meditation classes, retreats and Ayurvedic consultations and seasonal cleanses. I specialize in leading  groups in the daily rituals that bring long term health and happiness in the body, mind and spirit. I believe we are best served in a group context where we have the teachings, the guide and the community  together to support each individual's growth and change. So much more happens when we put ourselves in a context where everyone is moving in the same direction, working on their individual path, in service of the greater good in society. Ayurveda are in service of us in relationship to the rest of the world. 

I am indebted to my teachers who have taught and mentored me including Dr. Vasant Lad, Dr. Claudia Welch, Dr. Scott Blossom, Dr. Robert Svoboda, Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten, and my teachers in the Ridhwan school. Not only have they guided me in learning and teaching the practices of these great traditions but they've also helped reveal the inner teacher, and demonstrated that love is the real medicine.

In addition to yoga and ayurveda, I've trained and have certifications in Authentic Movement, Health Coaching and I've spent more than a dozen years in the Ridhwan school, a spiritual community dedicated to psycho-spiritual development and the realization of Being through the practice of self-inquiry and meditation.

 I've traveled all over the South Pacific and Southeast Asia and spent many months a year on the island of Bali through the 90′s where I developed a very deep connection with the people of Sayan Village near Ubud and taught and trained yoga students.  I am mother to a now grown son, who is also a trained yoga teacher.
