My classes are a playful blend of creative sequencing, intelligent alignment, mindful presence, and body-awareness meditation. The mixture of structure and joyful movement encourages safety and skillfullness, as well as freedom and expression. My mission is to get us all to move, have fun, find our joy, and feel connected and smart.
I am lucky beyond measure to have had so many great teachers. I have been profoundly touched by Amy Matthews and Roxlyn Moret who are continuing the rich work of Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen and infusing it with their own love and understanding. Most recently, Cyndi Lee of OM Yoga has been my primary teacher—she is a joyful, childlike bodhisattva if there ever was one, dropping wisdom bombs when we least expect it. Lucky indeed!
Other teachers who have particularly touched me are: Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Genny Kapuler, Erich Schiffmann, Shiva Rea, Dharma Mittra, Mukunda Stiles, and Ellen Saltonstall.
