Based in the Washington, DC area, I am a yoga teacher (RYT 200) and body worker providing assisted stretching.
I have been practicing yoga for nearly 20 years. During the pandemic, my yoga practice became my anchor while experiencing burnout and recovering from Long Covid. Using both yoga and stretching, I was able to support my nervous system and reconnect with myself.
I completed my 200-hour yoga certification at Beloved Yoga Sanctuary in Reston, VA in 2023, under the mentorship of Maryam Ovissi and Joelle Van Over. The training was rooted in the lineage of Sri Krishnamacharya, honoring yoga’s eight limb path.
Specializing in Hatha yoga, I teach breath-led classes that support my students’ nervous systems and mind-body connections. Yoga is deeply personal, so I use a trauma-informed, inclusive approach and tailor my teaching to each student’s unique needs, offering thoughtful modifications and accommodations.
In addition being a yoga teacher, I trained as a body worker to provide assisted stretching. Since 2023, I have been working with clients to help improve their mobility and flexibility.
Assisted stretch supports clients whether they’re focusing on a specific flexibility goal, general improvement in mobility or ensuring they are caring for their wellbeing during stressful moments. I find it incredibly rewarding to support my clients’ recovery routines and mind-body connection through stretching.
I live in Arlington, VA, on land belonging to the Piscataway and Nacotchtank tribes, with my dog (Cannoli) and cat (Pip). Beyond yoga and stretching, I love hiking, crafting, attending concerts, traveling and focusing on my latest hyperfixation.
