movement has the ability to connect us together in this human experience, IT TRANSCENDS LANGUAGE AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
MOVEMENT LIGHTS ME UP AND I LOVE SHARING THAT sensation WITH OTHERS.
MY TEACHING STYLE AIMS TO GET YOU WARM & GLOWING, INVIGORATE YOUR BODY, CALL UPON YOUR INTROSPECTION, & HONE IN YOUR PROPRIOCEPTION WITH MOVEMENT FLOWS THAT EQUALLY CHALLENGE & CALM
YOUR MIND + BODY.
MY classes are BREATH LED + BODY FOCUSED, TAILORED TO FIT THE NEEDS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL STUDENT.
I BELIEVE THROUGH MOVEMENT + BREATH AWARENESS WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS BLOCKED ENERGY CAUGHT WITHIN OUR FASCIA, TISSUES, & BONES, we can LEARN TO RELEASE + RELIEVE OUR BODY'S SYMPTOMS.
I STAND FIRMLY BEHIND THE UNDERSTANDING THAT optimal, functional MOVEMENT + integrated breathwork IS MEDICINE FOR BODY, MIND, HEART, & SOUL.
" THERE HAS TO BE COURAGE, A WILLINGNESS TO EXPLORE UNKNOWN FEELINGS & DARING TO FEEL THEM, LET THEM BECOME PART OF YOUR BEING.. YOU DO IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. '

// INNER RHYTHM //
MY yoga + PILATES PRACTICES ARE DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE ART + SCIENCE OF MOVEMENT AS MEDICINE.
MOVEMENT IS LIFE!
WE MOVE TO FEEL ALIVE,
WE MOVE TO REAWAKEN OUR SENSES,
TO RECONNECT OUR BUSY MINDS & ACTIVE BODIES BACK INTO THE PRESENT MOMENT.
YOGA OFFERS A BEAUTIFUL tapestry OF FLOWING MOMENTUM, INNER FOCUS, & PLAYFULNESS IN THE BODY WHILE DRAWING FROM THE BREATH as our CENTER to RETURN TO BALANCE.
MY PRACTICE & TRAINING
FROM EARLY ON, I WAS DRAWN TO MOVEMENT ARTS.
BEFORE DISCOVERING YOGA, I WAS ATTRACTED TO DANCE AND CHOREOGRAPHY AS PHYSICAL EXPRESSION OF MY EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE, AN OUTLET FOR MOVING energy THROUGH MY BODY,
WHAT CANNOT BE EXPRESSED IN WORDS CAN OFTEN BE ACCESSED WITH MOVEMENT.
MY EARLY GUIDING INFLUENCES WERE CLASSICAL BALLET WITH MARTHA GARVEY, MODERN DANCE WITH ANDRIA NIKOUPOLIS, AND MEDITATION WITH BETH COLEMAN; LOCAL LEGENDS FROM THE DOOR PENINSULA IN northeastern WISCONSIN,
YOGA HAS BEEN A GUIDING PILLAR IN MY LIFE FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS.
MY FIRST deep DIVE INTO YOGA CAME FROM TRAINING UNDER UNIVERSITY OF MILWAUKEE'S DANCE DEPartment CHAIR, DANCER & CHOREOGRAPHER JANET LILLY IN 2004. SHE TAUGHT AN INSPIRING IYENGAR YOGA COURSE WITH THE PRECISION & DISCIPLINE OF A CLASSICALLY TRAINED DANCER. THIS LAUNCHED MY PERSONAL PRACTICE.
YOGA HAS OFFERED ME A HOME + SANCTUARY EVERYWHERE I'VE LIVED IN THE WORLD. IT GAVE ME A COMMON LANGUAGE TO SPEAK and A built in TRIBE TO GATHER AND MOVE WITH.
MY 200HR TEACHER TRAINING IN 2017 WAS IN SEZZADIO, ITALY UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF MARCO MANDRINO & HARI OM YOGA SCHOOL INSTRUCTORS GIULIA MANZATO, EMANUELA BORIOTTI, & EMANUELA GENESIO. HARI OM IS NON-DOGMATIC; INCORPORATING A VARIETY OF STYLES INTO THEIR CIRICULUM, HATHA + VINYASA, TAI CHI, ANIMAL MOVEMENT, MARTIAL ARTS, & GUIDED MEDITATION. DISCIPLINE & DEDICATION WERE STRONG FOUNDATIONS WITHIN THE COURSEWORK.
IN 2020 I STUDIED 150+ HRS UNDER STACY & DAVE DOCKINS OF YOGA PROJECT WORKING TOWARD MY 500HR CERTIFICATION. YOGA PROJECT'S FOCUS ON CLINICAL, EVIDENCE BASED STUDIES TO INFORM A TEACHING STYLE WITH TRAUMA AWARENESS & INDIVIDUAL'S NEEDS AT THE FOREFRONT, KEEN ON REPROGRAMMING DYSFUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT PATTERNS IN THE BODY.
in 2023 - 2024 I TRAINED WITH BALANCED BODY PILATES SCHOOL TO BECOME A PILATES REFORMER INSTRUCTOR, FOLLOWED BY AN ADVANCED PILATES TEACHER TRAINING WITH CLASSICALLY TRAINED BALLET DANCER OR KAHLON IN SANTA BARBARA, CA.
PILATES brought A STRONG ADDITION TO MY YOGic KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION, ENHANCING my ANATOMICAL UNDERSTANDING & HEIGHTENED AWARENESS of SOMATIC release FOR REHABILITATING + STRENGTHENING THE BODY so we can age WITH GRACE & AGILITY.
