About Me

I have been a Registered Nurse since 1978, a psychotherapist since 1990, and have a PhD in Health and Human Services. I studied yoga in Chicago 1980-81 at a place called East-West Books. I embraced the Eightfold Path of Yoga at that time and restarted a personal asana practice about 15 years ago, practicing daily since 2014. I have lived with chronic pain since 1997 and my yoga practice has made a significant improvement in my quality of life, health, and wellness.

About My Service

I teach beginner to intermediate hatha yoga, as well as restorative and chair yoga, along with meditation. My desire is to provide yoga to those often overlooked or otherwise left out of commercial yoga studio classes: those with chronic pain, the differently abled/disabled, to seniors, those with body image needs, and to men who wouldn't otherwise consider yoga. My vision is to make yoga truly accessible to a broader range of people, to promote the ethical worldview of yoga, to provide empathic, empowered learning, and to support optimal wellness. Namaste.
