I  began practicing yoga in 1985 while studying for a degree in Performance Arts.  I developed an Iyengar- based practice with Judith Hirt in San Francisco, where I lived for 14 years. I eventually branched out into Astanga Vinyasa yoga, completing teacher training at It's Yoga in San Francisco in 2001 and Shiva Rea's Vinyasa Flow teaching intensive in London in 2004.  I later began studying Pilates with Amit Younger of Pilates Performance at the Royal Academy of Dance, where I went on to complete my Body Arts and Science Pilates Mat Work teaching certification.

Over the years I have had the privilege of developing my practice in workshops with some of the world's best known contemporary teachers, including Shiva Rea, Dharma Mittra, John Scott, David Swenson, Edward Clark, Kausthaub Desikachar, Tias Little, Pattabhi Jois, Jonathan Monks, Beryl Bender Birch, Ana Forrest, Max Strom, Judith Lasater and Pilates master Rael Isacowitz.  I have also learned much from low profile local teachers and friends.

I teach traditional Astanga primary series, yoga for runners, creative vinyasa flow yoga, relaxing hatha yoga for all levels and Pilates mat work.  I have contributed to "Runners World", "Health and Fitness", "Zest" and "Yoga Magazine" and have been featured in New Zealand's "Fit Life" magazine and Swedish "Fitness".  I am also a member of Yoga Alliance and Register of Exercise Professionals (REPS) Level 3.
