Yoga & Me: A Love Story
Yoga is the best thing in my life.
Truly.
I have practiced since 2000 and been teaching since 2004.
Yoga has been the most enduring relationship of my entire life. The practice allows me to have an ever-deepening relationship to myself. I have healed from a car accident, navigated menopause, processed a painful divorce, stayed sane after moving by myself to far away to places and have had a long career as a physical comedian— all because of yoga.
I love sharing my passion for yoga with others!
Embody Your Spirit
We live in a world of polarity and duality. Balancing them is the aim of yoga, which means union. Being a conscious human means that we are tasked with UNITING all of these seemingly opposite forces. When we achieve balance, we understand there is no separation at all— between us and other humans or between us and nature.
Yoga is a gentle but powerful spiritual system that guides us towards uniting light and dark, hard and soft, doing and being— first inside of ourselves and then in the world around us.
Authenticity is addictive.
We all experience the tension between our soul’s calling and the limitations of society and the over-culture. Yoga helps us to disentangle from illusion in order to stand in what is real. We come back to our true home, inside of ourselves, and learn to live authentically. God is not “out there” but “in here” and you can reach in for guidance, companionship, or comfort any time you wish.
We are all Divine beings having a human experience.
Eventually, we understand that we are ALL ONE, all part of Source and we allow ourselves permission to love, play and take the risk of being ourselves.
This is unity consciousness.
This is freedom.
This is authenticity.
This is yoga.
My Experience
I have practiced yoga since 2000.
I became a 200 hour certified teacher in Baltimore, MD at Midtown Yoga Center under Kim Manfredi in 2004. Kim’s teaching style was primarily hot vinyasa and ashtanga. She was most influenced by Pattabi Jois, Desi Kachar and Richard Freeman and her own career as an artist.
I am also heavily influenced by Ana Forrest and Dharma Mittra, who I have had direct teaching from.
From 2007-9 I attended a professional circus training program at New England Center for Circus Arts (in Vermont), under Elsie and Serenity Smith. There, I majored in partner acrobatics and doubles trapeze.
From 2009-2017, I worked as a performing artist in New York City. I made a living traveling internationally with my own comedic cabaret-theater show, alongside my then-husband who played a character named The Evil Hate Monkey.
In 2015, I began studying western magic, astrology, divination and alchemy, all parts of a growing revival of European spiritual systems. Yoga and alchemy are both based on personal transformation and teach us that changing the world is an inside job.
Changing the world is an inside job.
In 2016 I began to study tantra through Andrew Harvey and shadow integration through Carolyn Elliott.
In 2017 I moved to Los Angeles where I learned about the entertainment industry and continued to perform and teach yoga.
May 2020 I moved to a remote mountain town in the Sierra foothills where I ran my own art production studio and underground venue. I put on shows and taught classes there for 3 years.
Now I share my time with my hometown, Baltimore, MD, and the deep mountain forest of Nevada City, CA.
