I have made it my purpose and mission to spread the knowledge and awareness I've gained after life-changing injuries to my spine and hips. Through two spinal surgeries and then a spinal fusion, I work to help others maintain healthy spines, hips, and joints, and to stay active and mobile, well into long lives, living the healthiest version of ourselves through holistic wellness. It is a journey filled with self-exploration that I continue every day. My practice of choice? Power vinyasa flow. I combine my love of fitness and strength with my spiritual journey, set gracefully to fun music! I love every aspect of yoga and can't wait to share it!!
I’m so honored to have been named International Ambassador for the World Yoga Federation and certified as ERYT-500 Instructor! Thank you, WYF!
Did you all know that I am a certified Nutritionist specializing in gluten-free and plant-based nutrition? And I don't talk about it much, but I have been wracked with health issues for most of my life, from allergies, to celiac disease, severe anemia, and auto-immune disease. All while training like an athlete and living with the demands and stress of being a single mom... and oh yeah, trying to feed the pickiest eater ever, my kid! But I have found my healthiest life ever, all holistically, through nutrition and lifestyle!! I want to share all my tips and secrets with you! Plus, I LOVE to cook and I love to talk food and recipes! So we are going to do it here!!
Do you have specific issues you need to address? Do you just want to live healthier and feel lighter and more energetic after meals? Are you confused by the flood of information out there? I'd love to chat and see what we can do together?
Please stay tuned!! Soon! 🙂
I teach everyday here in LA but I realize some of you can't make it into a studio or even to CA! So I am working hard to make a lot of online yoga class videos, all on here, all for you to access at any time and from any location! I will have live 1-hour classes to take at your convenience, as well as videos for drills, strengthening, quick sesh's, and meditation... all from the comfort of your own home, mat, backyard, office... (don't worry we won't tell your boss! 😉 )

Grabbing the moments between the moments, to take a conscious breath. Each breath is a choice.
We are not the mud we walk through. We are the lotus tbat grew from it.
Let’s lotus up!

POV: the stretch that hits just right when you’ve been lifting a 6’1 young man around the house !
About 20 years ago my life was imploding, I was a single mom taking Charlie to every Dr who would let me in… Finally one said, “You need to go to yoga.” I think my response was somewhere around “WTF?’ Do I look like I have time for yoga?!” She said “No, you need to breathe!”
Many years later I still keep coming back to that advice & my favorite mantra, Om Mani Padme Om. In Buddhism it refers to the jewel in the lotus that rises from the mud. One may argue my reference, but in this case, the jewel is about spiritual awakening, but also clarity & compassion. The mud is our human experience, maybe our hardship or stress. None of us can escape the mud. We cannot change the mud. But without the mud would there be a lotus?! It rises above the mud with grace & beauty & doesn’t wear the mud it’s been through.
This week I am in some mud. I find myself living on adrenaline, tightening up, pacing, worrying. But in the moments in between, I remember to take a conscious breath, to feel my grounding, the lift up, one breath at a time, & rise above our circumstance, to grow with clarity & compassion.
I use this same thought on my mat. We know often yoga & life are parallel. When we are in q challenging pose or hold, or in the mud, what are our patterns, do we grip, tighten, shorten our breath, lose our focus? Can we make the conscious choice in the moments in between. Maybe it’s why I love transitions, it provides us the opportunity for that choice. When we live in a fight-or-flight pattern, this sounds impossible. But like in yoga, it takes practice and consistency. The practice is to notice & acknowledge the mud, not become it. Each breath is a choice. We rise not by force but by awareness. Close your eyes, feel the earth, slow the breath, imagine the stem rising with every breath, lifting, blossoming.
We are not the mud we walk through. We are the lotus tbat grew from it.
Let’s lotus up!
See ya on the mat! 💫
