I earned my 200 hour certification in Buffalo at the Himalayan Institute. I continued my studies at the Himalayan Institutes ashram in Honesdale PA gaining my 500 hour certification. I am a certified Ayurvedic Yoga specialist and I am moving through my studies to become an Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist. I received my Yoga for All certification in 2018 and am also working through the warriors at Ease training. I am a certified Personal trainer and health coach specializing in Clinical and orthopedic exercise.

My mission with Body Positive Yoga, is to make yoga accessible to everyone regardless of gender, age, race, ability, body shape or size. To provide a space where all bodies are celebrated and respected and to be particularly supportive for those who struggle with body confidence and self-acceptance.

Developing this physical and spiritual practice allows us to develop trust, respect and acceptance in who we are on and off the mat. It’s a way to feel good in your body and to make peace with your body, exactly as it is right now.

My classes provide a safe and supportive environment to explore gentle, joyful movement with no judgement or expectation to ‘keep up’.
