UpLIFT Nola is located in the beautiful, historic Algiers Point neighborhood on the Westbank of New Orleans. The studio is more than 100 years old and has served the community in numerous capacities, but today it offers a quaint and quiet place to rejuvenate. Our teachers use dynamic mindfulness, meditation, yoga, art and other wellness practices to help students shake off the stress of life and restore balance.

I believe yoga is truly for everyone. I strive to share it compassionately and teach it accessibly. My practice is fat, trans and queer positive. I believe everyone has the right to find joy in their own body and in movement.
