RYT 200 hour and a 500-hour Insight Yoga certification, a practice that weaves together yin yoga, meditation, and the wisdom traditions of Buddhism.  I have been teaching yoga since 2014 and am proud to be one of the first teachers at Vasa the Studio.

My journey with Insight Yoga was shaped through study with Bernie Clark and Sarah Powers, whose teachings integrate yin yoga, mindfulness, and Buddhist philosophy into a contemplative embodied practice. Through their guidance, I learned to approach yoga not simply as physical exercise, but as a path of self-inquiry, presence, and compassionate awareness.

In my classes, students are invited to slow down, listen inwardly, and explore the subtle relationship between body, breath, and mind. Yin postures are held with patience and curiosity, creating space for meditative awareness and insight to arise. Meditation and mindfulness practices are woven throughout, supporting students in cultivating steadiness, clarity, and ease both on and off the mat.

I also carry deep gratitude for the many teachers and traditions that have shaped my path. Their generosity and wisdom continue to inform my practice and my teaching. My intention is to offer a space where students can rest, reflect, and reconnect with their innate capacity for awareness, compassion, and balance.
