ABOUT ME
Photo by Melanie Reynard
A former public policy researcher turned body nerd, I am a Pilates and yoga teacher, specializing in rehabilitation and therapeutics. What started out as an attempt to gain flexibility and strength in the my body has turned into a journey to practice kindness, self-acceptance, and happiness. I have taught in studios, gyms, people's homes, condo buildings, corporate offices, public events, and even on the beach.
My objective is to cultivate mindfulness and self-acceptance while helping you develop sustainable, pain-free, movement patterns for your whole life. My classes focus on developing functional strength and movement in the body, and are informed by my continuing studies into human anatomy, the nervous system, and biomechanics. I specialize in working with those with musculoskeletal issues, such as scoliosis, or other special conditions, such as pregnancy.
I am comprehensively certified on Pilates equipment and mat, and have studied under teachers that come from a wide array of trainings, including the Kane School, Stott Pilates, and Romana Kryzanowska, one of the original Pilates teachers in the United States. I have over 600 hours of trainings through Yogaworks and Maty Ezraty in California and New York City, and was a member of the Yogaworks teacher training team as a teaching assistant in NYC. My practice is also informed by the work of biomechanist Katy Bowman.
