I found yoga over 20 years ago at a climbing gym in Boulder, CO. My lower back motivated me to keep a regular practice, when its aches were cured and sleep quality improved. Since then, what was just another way to move my body, has gradually grown to include physical alignment, meditation, philosophy, and a whole way of life.

I’ve been fortunate to learn from a wide variety of excellent teachers along the way, and recently completed my first teacher training with Sarah Sol at RVY in 2026.

As with most things in life, I believe in a practice of the middle-way. We need all of it, at the right time, in the right amount: strength and challenge, warming energy, restoration and release, gentle calming. All of it done with integrity and full breath.

If I can bring a little more ease into our fast-moving, go-go, more-more world, I’ll be happy.
