She has written for Yoga Journal and was named one of America’s top 100 influential teachers. As a teacher, she strives to include the perfect alchemy of precise physical instruction, intelligence, intention and space into her classes. Her passion for anatomy and sequencing are clear in her teaching. She loves a good hands on assist (but will also give you space if you don’t!) and while she has always been drawn to the vigor of a strong physical practice, she increasingly has become interested in the subtleties of pranayama and how she can creatively incorporate both traditional and more modern applications of the breath into her classes.
