I grew up on the beaches along the Virginia coast, and have spent a lifetime in and around water. After graduate school, I moved to Seattle and completed my yoga teacher training in 2012. Combining my love of yoga and water, I immediately pursued certifications in Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga from Lazy Dog Paddle in Key West and 3 Oms in Bellingham.
My classes are inclusive, accessible, challenging, and clear. I love the freedom that comes from being on a paddleboard, and love to share that joy with students. I truly believe yoga is for everybody, and paddleboard yoga is for anyone willing to try. I currently teach in several local Seattle studios, and teach office yoga online with Balanced Humans.
With respect and humility, I acknowledge that we are combining an ancient practice of well being from India with a paddle and surf technique developed by native Hawaiians, and are doing so in the waters of the Duwamish people.
When I'm not out on the board, I love to teach and play the French horn.
