After many years of feeling like yoga was reserved for the flexible, I signed up for yoga teacher training with Gerhard Gessner at Prana Yoga Center in La Jolla, CA. During the training, I learned to turn my weaknesses into strengths by creating playful sequences that go beyond stretching and tap into the true benefits of personal practice. I have focused my career on helping people of all ages and sizes become healthier and I am honored to continue on this path.

I am a graduate of the UCSD Extension Fitness Instruction & Exercise Science Certification program where I expanded my knowledge of expanded my knowledge of metabolic disease prevention, nutrition for athletes and exercise for special populations: including older adults, pregnant women and youth fitness.  I work with private yoga and personal training clients, ages 25 to 73, and I teach vinyasa flow classes with an emphasis on proper alignment and breath-work.
