Testimonials

"What draws me to your classes is the flow and moderate intensity. I really like how you mix things up so it never gets boring. You also do some great targeting poses (I especially like your neck and shoulder work that help me), along with trigger point release and challenges that I can usually handle. You have a calming  approach and do helpful demonstration as well as verbally cue to help me correct where needed."

"I have never encountered a more authentic teacher and human and that makes every yoga class so perfect. You pay direct attention to who we are and where we are and engage each of us with care. Your pacing is another thing that I really value--your classes feel to me a slow burn that allows me to get both cardio and deep stretch. I struggle with very fast-paced classes, not because I can't keep up but because when I get in a warrior or something I want to feel it for a moment, get that extra bang out of that stretch, and you allow us to explore and go more deeply into our poses. I can do almost our whole flow with my eyes closed, I feel, and yet at the end I feel tired and also stronger. I also appreciate that you care about the yogic life, philosophy, spiritual aspect. You always bring wisdom to Shivasana and I know you are drawing on all these traditions and deep wells as you are teaching. That is what I need: the holistic practice, yoga as connection to self and body rather than yoga as glute and ab workout."
