ABOUT
About 6 years ago, I transitioned from a successful law career in New York to dedicating my life to Yoga, health and wellness. After curing a herniated disc, developed from sitting at my old law firm desk, through frequent yoga practice, yoga went from being a respite from everyday life to so much more – it was how to find balance, stability, health and happiness. Leaving my old desk behind and diving in, I have earned over 1000 hours of teacher training under the guidance of master teachers in New York. I am grateful to have the privilege to continuously learn from Colleen Saidman Yee, Rodney Yee, Heather Lilleston, Jamie Lugo, Nikki Costello and Sangeeta Vallabhan. Ultimately, I believe that the most important teacher is within. When I’m not learning from others, my curiosity digs me deeper into my self-studies, incessantly learning from my own practice, my body, my mind, life and my books. I am honored to have taught in numerous Yoga studios in Israel, California and New York, including Yoga Vida, Yoga Shanti and Sweat Yoga. I have also had the pleasure of teaching on Good Morning America’s “Tone in 20” and to thousands of people in Times Square at the Solstice.
I value creativity, flow, alignment and self-discovery. My classes are fun, safe, challenging and musically charged. Typically classes are sequenced to gradually build up to a peak pose. My background honors the safe alignment principles from the Iyengar method and merges it with a modern creative vinyasa style flow developed by Yoga Shanti. I have experience teaching students of all ages, levels, prenatal, postnatal and much more. Although my flow classes are moderate to fast pace, they are still considered welcoming and safe for all.
Recently, after learning about developing a chronic illness, I have become curious about how nutrition affects health. Empowered to create last change, I am currently enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and able to call myself a Health Coach. I look forward to adding this modality to my tool belt so that I can guide those that are interested in healing the body and mind holistically.
