I’m a yoga teacher, a lifelong surfer, and a dedicated student of life.
Inspired by nature, I strive to offer balanced classes that focus on function rather than aesthetics. I like to blend mindful movement with intentional breath work and often incorporate myofascial release and meditation into my group classes and private sessions.

I’m joining the Make A Wave Challenge to help raise awareness and donations for the SurfAid programs that bring healthcare, clean drinking water, and food security to communities in remote surfing destinations.

I spend a lot of time in my head. Like, a lot of time. But thank goodness for this practice of yoga that has given me so many tools that help pull me out of the whirlpool of overthinking and anchor me into the magic of the now. Here are 3 practices that I use regularly!
Space for you to check in & recalibrate along with a practice of loving-kindness to carry with you into your day. This is a 10-minute, guided, and seated practice that includes some really gentle movement, a few rounds of breath work, and closes with a metta meditation.
