I discovered yoga as a young mother, learning to find calm within myself and respond rather than react. Today, I teach slow, intentional movement that connects breath, body, and presence. My classes invite you to move breath by breath, listen inward, and create space for awareness, patience, and connection — on the mat and in everyday life.

In my classes, you can expect mindful movement with clear cues centered on breath and alignment. I focus on helping you feel safe and comfortable in your body. You’ll flow along to an eclectic collection of music, with plenty of quiet breathing room to connect with your own experience. There are no rigid rules here — just a grounded, welcoming space to quiet your mind, get moving, and leave feeling ready for whatever comes next!

A former dancer, I came to yoga seeking physical challenge and found something far deeper. My classes blend intelligent, alignment-based vinyasa with room to challenge yourself or settle inward, creating space to explore without judgment. Expect a welcoming class, a great soundtrack, and to leave feeling grounded and strong.

I believe yoga can be a balm for the heart, body, and spirit, and SYJ has been my yoga home since 2016. My classes blend thoughtful alignment, intentional sequencing, and a soulful playlist. A poet, herbalist, and lover of the natural world, I weave poetry into practice as a bridge between mind and body.

In my classes, you can expect introspective centering and alignment-focused vinyasa flow, with humor and a soulful playlist. My goal is to create a moving meditation that leaves you feeling empowered, challenged, and inspired to carry the practice into your day. On and off the mat, I create space for people to ground, connect, and move beyond what they think they can do. My own practice keeps teaching me that, and I’m grateful to pass it on.

I’m a former Division I lacrosse athlete and yoga teacher with 25 years of practice and more than 1,000 hours of training. I bring creativity, strength, and heart to every class, creating experiences that leave you energized, empowered, and grounded. Expect thoughtful movement, meaningful connection, and plenty of laughter.

Since I was 16, yoga has kept me healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually. My passion is sharing that gift with others. Expect fun, lively classes that build energy and endorphins through smart sequencing and flowy movement. Come to your mat to reconnect your heart, mind, and body and leave feeling blissed out!

I am passionate about bringing ancient yoga wisdom to modern life. My classes blend playful exploration with thoughtful alignment, inviting students to discover how their practice shapes the way they show up in the world. I create space for both challenge and surrender, inviting students to discover yoga as a way of being  - cultivating balance, resilience, and joy that carries into everyday life.

I teach with a grounding approach that blends traditional yoga practices, philosophy, and mindful, accessible movement. My classes emphasize breath, embodiment, and self-awareness, offering thoughtful variations that allow students to feel both supported and appropriately challenged. Through movement, reflection, and curiosity, I invite students to deepen their connection to themselves and carry the teachings of yoga beyond the mat.

My teaching is nourishing and fluid, with an emphasis on mindful movement and alignment that honors the organic architecture of the body. As a clinical nutritionist, I bring a holistic perspective to my teaching and help students cultivate greater strength, balance, relaxation, and energy—both on and off the mat.

I am first a student of the life sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda. My teaching is rooted in the Indic knowledge traditions and grounded in lived experience, deepened through practice over time. Through SYJ, I offer workshops that gently invite students to move toward stillness and self-understanding.

I bring energy, heart, and great music to every mat Pilates class. Expect thoughtful, precise movement that builds strength, flexibility, and body awareness paired with an uplifting soundtrack and a genuine sense of community. I believe Pilates is as much about connection and lifestyle as it is about core work. I love creating a space where students feel challenged, supported, and glad to be there.

Movement has always been essential to me, from my early life as a dancer to more than 26 years practicing and teaching yoga. A former massage therapist, I bring a deep understanding of the body to my teaching. I offer thoughtful, enlivening movement rooted in connection, curiosity, and love of practice.

I teach a strong, smartly sequenced, and soulful flow. A former college athlete, 3x marathon finisher, and educator, I weave both the physical and philosophical into my  signature SYJ- alignment based yoga classes. You can expect references to rap music, moments of reverence, contemplative musings, lines of poetry and thoughtful insights as you move, sweat, breathe and be.

My classes blend intentional movement, breath, and music to create a practice that feels grounding, energizing, and fun. I put a lot of love into my playlists and thoughtful sequencing, with an emphasis on strong foundations and connection. Expect to sweat, tune in, and maybe discover your new favorite song.

Over the past 18 years, I have taught hundreds of students and witnessed their positive transformations through the mind, body, spirit, and breath practices of yoga. As a certified yoga therapist, my specialty is leading mental health-aware yoga and teaching students to adapt their practice as their bodies change and as they navigate life's transitions.

My teaching focus is always on proper form. My philosophy in fitness is that our muscles know what to do, can handle hard things, and grow stronger when the work is done correctly. In class, I cultivate an inclusive atmosphere so that every student receives the encouragement they need to have fun and achieve their goals. You can always count on a little humor and a bit of improper counting to keep everyone on their toes.
